Why Wilde Raven?

The name “Wilde Raven” emerged as a harmonious blend of two iconic symbols. These symbols are Oscar Wilde, Ireland’s literary titan, and The Morrígan, the legendary raven goddess of Irish mythology. This union encapsulates the richness of Ireland’s artistic and mythological heritage, creating a name that effortlessly ties together cultural depth, creativity, and mystique. Wilde’s celebrated wit and poetic brilliance echo the Bard of Scotch’s ethos of storytelling and artistry, while The Morrígan’s association with transformation and fate mirrors the craft and journey involved in whisky-making. Together, “Wilde Raven” embodies the fusion of Ireland’s cultural legacy and the values upheld by Bard of Scotch Whisky.

For Bard of Scotch, the transition to Irish whiskey is a natural evolution of its core values. The brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and artistry transcends borders, bringing the spirit of poetry and creativity from Scotland to Ireland. Just as an ispiration for Bard of Scotch, Rabbie Burns’ works celebrate the essence of Scotland, “Wilde Raven” draws upon Ireland’s heritage, integrating artistry, mythology, and literary brilliance into its narrative. This launch represents more than a new product; it signifies an exploration of storytelling and the shared threads of cultural pride that connect these two nations. With its luxury price point and APAC market focus, “Wilde Raven Irish Whiskey” carries forward the Bard of Scotch brand voice while offering something uniquely Irish yet unmistakably premium.

The name “Wilde Raven” also holds a deeply personal connection, as it was the name of Dan’s late grandfather’s boat on which he sailed around Europe and beyond, embodying adventure, curiosity, and the excitement of discovery. These ideals perfectly align with the spirit of “Wilde Raven Irish Whiskey,” a brand that invites enthusiasts to embark on their own voyage of flavor and craftsmanship. Much like the boat, this whiskey represents freedom and exploration—a celebration of life’s journey and the artistic spirit that connects us all. In every dram of Wilde Raven, we honor the poetry of whisky-making and the legacy of discovery, ensuring the name becomes synonymous with a bold yet refined Irish whiskey experience.
