SIMON
Ex-international rugby player. Grew up around his dad's whiskey collection and brings that same energy and creativity — minus the tackles — to Black Emerald.

Born of Ireland. Built for the World.
Born of Ireland. Built for the World.
A publican, a rugby player, and a whiskey nomad walked into a bar - literally. Ernest brought the warmth of hospitality and community. Simon brought the craic and a legacy of post-match toasts. Finian brought years of global industry experience and a belief that Single Grain Irish Whiskey deserved its moment in the sun.
What started as a shared pour turned into a mission: to create a whiskey that celbrates a modern Ireland. Always Single Grain. Always aged. Always finished. Because great whiskey is made to be opened - and no one drinks alone.
