Thin Lizzy brand Whiskey and Rum to hit the market.

Thin Lizzy and the Philip Lynott Estate are set to launch a new whiskey brand in collaboration with West Cork Distillers.

The Thin Lizzy whiskey was created when band members Scott Gorham and Brian Downey and the family of Lynott — wife Caroline and daughters Sarah and Cathleen — went to the distillery in Skibbereen to develop the new brand

New product development marketing manager Joey Shore spearheaded the project at West Cork Distillers.

A spokesman for Thin Lizzy — known for their cover of Whiskey in the Jar — said the band and Lynott’s family were “delighted” to announce the global launch of its whiskey brand.
