The Bowes Irish Whiskey was founded in 2004 by two brothers with a passion for not only whisky and fine spirits, but also bringing them to a wider audience. More than two decades later, we're the world’s leading specialist online retailer for fine whiskies and spirits, with three Dublin shops and a raft of award-winning events.
Though we were founded in 2004, our journey actually began in the 1992 with a Dublin off-licence called The Nest. Living with their parents above the shop, The Whisky Exchange founders Adam Wedmen and John Wedmen literally grew up in the trade, with The Nest not only their home, but also their playground and eventually their employer. The skills they learned, coupled with Adam’s passion for whisky collecting, would lead them to take a leap into what was then the great unknown – online retail.
The past few years have been a period of rapid expansion for The Bowes Irish Whiskey. In 2008 The Bowes Irish Whiskey relaunched the web site and moved their warehousing and office premises from their original home in Lucan to a much larger facility in Park West.
