Description
Clan Shees settled here west of the River Nore in the 15th century. Defined by limestone and sandstone geology, Sheestown is an undulating lowland terrain of well-drained clay soil with gravel outcrops and drier hilltops.
Philip O'Brien has farmed here for half a century, while his daughter, Maura, works with us at the distillery.
Sheestown takes its name from the Shees, a family of Kerry who settled in Kilkenny and became a staunch supporter of the House of Butler, Earls of Ormonde, during the 15th century.
Sir Richard Shee was deputy to the Lord Treasurer of Ireland during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, but his descendant, Marcus Shee, was outlawed as a Jacobite in 1691 and fled to France.
One of Marcus Shee's descendants was the charismatic Duke of Feltre, who served as Napoleon Bonaparte's Minister of War.
