Ardara Distillery (operated by Sliabh Liag Distillers) produces Irish whisky and filled its first whisky cask in 2022; its inaugural bottling was released recently. The company is scaling production and required additional operating capital to grow its whisky business. It received a €15 million working-capital facility from Ferovinum to support those expansion needs. The financing is inventory‑secured, allowing the distillery to access funds while retaining control and avoiding equity dilution. Ferovinum positions its platform as a way to empower producers to scale sustainably without compromising quality. Ferovinum has previously invested in Holyrood Distillery and Borders Distillery; this is its first investment in Irish whiskey, reflecting confidence in Irish distillers’ blend of tradition and innovation.
