Aidan Mehigan is the Founder and CEO of Natterjack, a popular Irish whiskey brand he grew from zero to an internationally recognized liquor brand in less than five years.

Natterjack, currently sold in 16 U.S. states and 13 global markets, was recognized as the Best Irish Whiskey 2024 in The Whiskey Bible and has 7+ figure annual revenues. The journey getting there wasn’t easy!

To fund the growth of his company in 2018, Aidan obtained a $940K+ convertible loan note. Then COVID-19 struck, and by the end of 2021, Natterjack had low cash reserves, international market sales were almost non-existent, and the Irish market was simply too small to sustain the business.

To make matters worse, the convertible loan note holder also wanted their money, and Aidan couldn't pay it back. This resulted in a legal battle that ended with the court ruling in Aidan’s favor, ending an attempted hostile acquisition and possible closure of Natterjack.
