A focused selection of James J. Fox whiskey releases, collaborations and selected bottlings from our Dublin store. From single casks to limited Irish whiskey releases, each bottle reflects the relationships, taste and specialist knowledge behind our Grafton Street shop.
Experience of Five Generations
Our story begins in 1881 when founder James John Fox, originally a Londoner, with considerable experience and a flair for cigars, opened his own family tobacco shop at 119 Grafton Street.
Over the next five generations, the Fox family has evolved the business into Ireland's leading source for premium cigars and pipe tobacco, and later expanded into whiskey and spirits.
Now, well over a century since James John Fox's first sale, we remain committed to the highest level of service and expertise, as one of Ireland's oldest retailers still in existence.
Meet our Team
James J. Fox Dublin is a small team, dedicated to providing you with the highest standards of service and professional advice.
Yiorgos
Yiorgos, our fearless leader and managing director, hails from the land of Zeus and souvlaki. Legend has it that when he set foot on the Irish shores, the whiskey gods embraced him, and he discovered a passion that flowed through his veins like an ancient elixir. Now, he navigates the business realm with the wisdom of Dionysus and the smoky charisma of a cigar aficionado, leaving us all wondering if he's secretly plotting a merger between the Pantheon and the world of spirits.
Stephen
Stephen, our store manager, is a whiskey-loving maestro whose musical journey in Edinburgh hit a high note when he discovered that the key to his heart was actually a barrel-aged symphony of flavours.
Paul
Paul, our retail manager, is the wine aficionado known as "The Nose" because he can sniff out the grape variety of a bottle of wine faster than a Spanish flamenco dancer can stomp. While he dreams of owning a vineyard in the sunny south of Spain, Paul's love for Scotch whiskey proves that he's not just chasing grapes, but also the smooth spirit of adventure in every glass.
Steph
Steph, the whiskey whisperer who once graced the halls of Powerscourt Distillery, is now venturing into the smoky world of cigars, all in the name of expanding her expertise in both areas, and achieving her lifelong dream of creating her own whiskey. Catch her mastering the art of pairing fine whiskey with the perfect cigar, turning every tasting session into a symphony of flavour and laughter. She's the blend of knowledge and humour you never knew you needed in your quest for liquid gold and aromatic delights.
Amy
Amy, the whirlwind sales executive, possesses a unique blend of fiery energy and boundless enthusiasm. With a quiver of arrows at her side and a glass of whiskey in hand, she fearlessly hits targets and happy hour conversations with equal precision. When she's not dominating in archery or spouting facts about Co. Meath, you can find Amy effortlessly multitasking, while talking non-stop, leaving us all wondering if she's secretly mastered the art of inhaling words between breaths.
