A small clan cask was sourced for the O’Dubhda by Kieran O’Dowd, seventh modern Taoiseach (2018–2022) and the first woman to hold the office of Chief of the Name in the clan’s recorded history. It was laid down at the Connacht Whiskey Distillery in Ballina, on the site of the old Duffy’s bakery on the banks of the Moy — the first distillery built in County Mayo in a hundred and fifty years.

In September 2024 the distillery was acquired by Terroirs Distillers, a French family-owned wine and spirits group; in November 2025 it was rebranded as the Ballina Distillery and released its first single malts under the new name. The clan cask remains in place, maturing quietly through the change of ownership.

It is set aside for bottling in time for the 2028 Homecoming, where it will be released as O’Dowd Whiskey — a small, named expression marking the clan’s gathering on its own ground.
