A bold new name has entered the world of Irish whiskey. Mr Fox Irish Whiskey is a new Independent Irish whiskey brand founded by Wayne Devlin and Anthony Smith - two friends shaped by years in Irish restaurants, bars and whiskey culture. Built around the spirit of good company, Mr Fox is whiskey for shared tables, relaxed occasions and real conversation.

Taking inspiration from the legendary Irish statesman Charles Stewart Parnell, nicknamed “Mr Fox,” the brand celebrates those who lead with purpose and passion. Much like its namesake, Mr Fox Irish Whiskey stands for courage, conviction, and craft — a whiskey for the trailblazers.
“We wanted to create a whiskey that reflects Ireland’s fearless side — the part that never stops challenging and never stops creating,” said a Anthony & Wayne. “Mr Fox is about more than what’s in the glass. It’s about the story, the fire, and the people who carry Ireland’s spirit forward.”
Mr Fox launches this month in 30 Dunnes Stores across Ireland, distributed by
Dalcassian Wines & Spirits, following an exclusive release in Dublin Airport earlier this
year.
Four-Pack Cans - Made for Real Life
The brand debuts with three expressions presented in 100ml four-pack cans - an easy,
modern way to enjoy premium Irish whiskey across different moments: a pre-dinner
drink, a round of golf with friends, a picnic or festival, a quiet night in, or winding down
after work.
The initial release includes a Blended Irish Whiskey finished in bourbon casks, an
8-Year Stout Cask Finish, and an 8-Year Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish - each available in 4 x 100 ml cans.
"The four-pack format just made sense to us," said Co-Founder Wayne Devlin.
"Whiskey fits into so many different moments - a pre-dinner drink, a round of golf with
friends, a picnic, a night in, or winding down after work. The 100 ml cans make it easy to
bring whiskey into those moments without needing to open a full bottle."
"We wanted Mr Fox to feel easy to enjoy," said Co-Founder Anthony Smith. "There's no
ceremony to it - you just bring it along, open it and share it. The idea is simple: good
whiskey, good company, wherever you happen to be."

500 ml Bottles Coming in 2026
Next year, Mr Fox will release its two 8-Year Single Grain expressions in a bespoke 500ml bottle: Stout Cask Finish and Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish - continuing the brand's focus on character, texture and expressive cask finishing.
