A Limited Edition Series that Captures the Extraordinary Spirit of The Powerscourt Estate

Fercullen Estate Series

The Powerscourt Distillery asked Trinity to create the inaugural limited-edition series for its Fercullen Irish Whiskey brand.

The Estate Series was created to capture the very essence of Ireland’s celebrated Powerscourt Estate itself, a place of extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. The instant you pass through the gates of the estate, you are filled with a sense of wonder. There is a harmony that exists between the lush open acres of untamed Irish land, the humbling power of its wild, magnificent waterfall, and the exquisite artistry of its landscaped gardens and centuries-old estate house.

With each of the three releases, the series honors a renowned feature of this stunning estate. A watercolor painting tells the story of each, expressed through craft and detail worthy of the estate - and the liquid - itself. Details and embossing provide discovery elements that draw you deeper into Powerscourt’s story and extraordinary spirit.

Fercullen Estate Series bottle and box packaging, three varieties.

The first release - THE MILL HOUSE - celebrates the centuries-old building in which the whiskey is distilled. The old mill house seems to have the very soul of Powerscourt embedded in its thick stone walls, and the mill wheel it holds within serves as the beating heart of the estate.

The second release - THE ITALIAN GARDENS - is in honor of the world-renowned gardens that grace the estate. The dazzling landscaping, dotted by distinctive Italian urns throughout, is the realization of 19th-century artists who imagined endless possibilities and knew their vision would only be fully realized by future generations.

“The Limited Edition Estate Series heralds a new era for our distillery – with a holistic offering that symbolises our commitment to honouring our home at the foothills of the majestic Wicklow mountains and showcases our craftsmanship and time-honoured techniques.”

Head of Brand & New Product Development

The third release - THE GATES - is an homage to the iconic gates that surround the estate. The intricate craftsmanship of the gates surprises and delights with artistic details. The golden Trumpeting Angels in the Chorus Gates appear to play their music to the winds that blow through the grounds.

The Estate Series has become a sought-after collector’s item with the first two releases selling out. Powerscourt doubled production for the third release to address demand.
