Dingle Whiskey Distillery, The Old Mill, Milltown Roundabout, Dingle,
Co. Kerry, V92 E7YD, t. +353-66-4029011, www.dingledistillery.ie
The Dingle Whiskey Distillery came
into being in Winter 2012 and was
founded by three independent spirits
Oliver Hughes, Liam LaHart and Peter
Mosley. We have always had quality
over quantity at the forefront of our
thoughts.
We never had any interest in distilling
enormous quantities of bland whiskey.
We aren’t passionate about bland
spirit. We’re hugely passionate about
fl avoursome, well-crafted spirit.
To achieve the fl avours we want to achieve in our whiskey, we use three distinctive,
hand-crafted copper pot stills to create what we believe is the ultimate Irish whiskey.
Their distinctive design, encourages refl ux and has much to do with the remarkable
smoothness and purity of our spirit.
Alongside regular small batches of Dingle Whiskey, we produce award-winning
Dingle Vodka and Dingle Gin. Dingle Gin was awarded the title of World’s Best Gin
at the World Gin Awards 2019.
Distillery tours are held daily and can be booked by emailing
tours@dingledistillery.ie.

Galway’s Only Working Distillery, www.MicilDistillery.com
Micil Distillery is the first distillery in
Galway in over 100 years. It’s headed up
by Pádraic Ó Griallais, a 6th generation
distiller passionately continuing a 170
year old family tradition.
The distillery traces its roots back to
1848, when Pádraic’s great-great-great
grandfather, Micil Mac Chearra, began
producing poitín in Connemara.
We distil now the same way we’ve always
done; by hand in small batches, using
local botanicals, unique family recipes and six generations of craft experience.
During a tour of Micil Distillery, you’ll learn the real history of poitín, whiskey and gin,
how they’re made, and what makes our own products so unique.
You’ll experience the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of a working distillery, and hear
some interesting, funny and daring stories. You’ll get to taste for yourself the products
we continue to make in a time-honoured tradition. Our tours/tastings are a unique
experience not to be missed.
Tours, tastings and Distillery experiences available most days.
