The Muff Liquor Company is inspired by the past and driven by the future. Laura Bonner, CEO and founder of Muff Liquor, continues her grandfather's tradition of making a product born of the land and crafted by hand. Her ambition is to make sure The Muff Liquor Company is a testament to the hardworking values of Philip McClenaghan whose image now rightfully adorns the label of the Muff bottle. Laura and her celebrity investors: Russell Crowe, Ed Sheerhan, Ronan Keating, Jimmy Carr, and Ryan Tubridy have just opened a home for their brand in Muff County Donegal which is an anchor for the brand and a place to tell the true story of Muff Liquor and all that it stands for.
