One very special pudding. One very delicious Christmas.
A proper Christmas pudding is something to look forward to — made slowly, shared generously and given the time it needs to become something extraordinary.
Our Damson Whiskey Pudding was made in 2025 and has been quietly maturing for over a year before its release for Christmas 2026. Handcrafted once a year in small batches, this is a pudding shaped by the garden, exceptional Irish ingredients and, above all, time.
The Damson Whiskey Pudding
The 2025 Release · Matured for One Year
Dark, fruity and unmistakably Fat Tomato, this pudding begins in the garden.
Our Merryweather damsons are poached, dried and macerated for months in Tara Hill raw blossom honey and Boann Distillery Single Pot Still PX Cask Irish Whiskey, creating a fruit base that is intensely aromatic and full of depth.
From there, the layers build slowly. St. Brigid’s Ale adds a warm, malty backbone; Salt Rock Dairy cultured butter and Plúr Bakery heritage-grain sourdough crumbs bring richness and structure; organic pecans and almonds add texture; while our own candied citrus — made from organic fruit grown on our adopted trees in Spain — brings brightness to the darker flavours.
Highbank Orchards organic apple treacle and a blend of orchard and vine fruits — organic figs, cranberries and currants — complete the mix, creating a pudding that is generous, layered and deeply flavoured.
Steamed slowly, then rested for a full year, this is a Christmas pudding made to be savoured — rich, complex and quietly luxurious.
At the table: Serve warm in generous slices. We love it with Organic Cashel Blue or Mount Leinster raw milk cheddar, whose creamy tang cuts beautifully through the pudding’s rich sweetness. Add a glass of Highbank Apple Brandy, Tawny Port or PX Sherry for a proper finish.
