Killavullen · Blackwater Valley, Co. Cork

Gathered from the hedgerow, steeped slowly into vinegar.

Kingfisher House is a small Irish maker working the wild hedgerows of the Blackwater Valley. Three vinegars are coming soon — hawthorn, elderflower and cleaver — alongside our hawthorn shrub, a sipping vinegar for long, cold drinks. Each is gathered by hand and bottled in tiny batches. We’re not selling just yet.

100ml
The Range

Three vinegars from one wild hedgerow.

Each is steeped, settled and bottled by hand in 100ml apothecary glass. A splash brightens dressings, marinades, roast vegetables and game, or mixes with sparkling water into something to drink.

Hawthorn

Bright, floral and gently tannic. The berry of the lone fairy tree, steeped in raw Irish cider vinegar.

Elderflower Vinegar bottle at dusk under a bare tree

Elderflower

Delicate and aromatic. Picked in the brief weeks the cream blossom hangs over the lanes.

Cleaver Vinegar bottle over a field at sunset

Cleaver

Green, grassy and quietly savoury. Cleaver is the sticky hedgerow climber of childhood — here it turns fresh and herbal.

Hawthorn Shrub bottle by the Blackwater at dusk
A sipping vinegar

Hawthorn Shrub

A drinking vinegar in the old country style — wild hawthorn, raw cane sugar and cider vinegar. Pour 30 ml over ice, top one-to-five with sparkling water, and it becomes a sharp, floral cordial. Fine in cocktails, or splashed over a long gin.
