Our Story

The Castle

At the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands sits Kinnitty Castle, a place steeped in Irish legend and lore over its 800-year history. As an early home to the Irish Monks that began distilling Uisce Beatha – Water of Life – Kinnitty Castle has played a central role in modern Irish Whiskey.

Today, visitors from around the globe are invited to experience Ireland’s heritage, history, and charm at Kinnitty Castle Hotel. Many guests have reported ghostly encounters with the castle’s resident spirit, Hugh the Monk, who still wanders the grounds.

Whether visiting for a wedding, whiskey tasting, or to connect with their Irish roots, guests at Kinnitty Castle Hotel are welcome to enjoy the company of our spirits!

The Journey

Over pints of stout and glasses of whiskey at the famous Four Green Fields Irish Pub in Tampa, Florida, a group of friends devoted to Irish culture seized the opportunity to take ownership of Kinnitty Castle Hotel and restore it to its place as a premier hospitality and culture destination. The grounds, location, and connection with the great history of Irish Whiskey distillation in the region demanded that Kinnity Castle forge its place in the growing Irish Whiskey popularity.
