Ahascragh Distillery

About Ahascragh Distillery

In the heartland of Ireland, the husband-wife team of Gareth and Michelle McAllister are building a state-of-the-art distillery from the bones of a historic mill. The project is intense and has required major renovations by experienced local contractors. They have built Ireland’s first fully sustainable distillery by using solar energy, the old water wheel, and high-energy heat pumps with energy storage capabilities. The distillery will also bring renewed vitality and visibility to the community through employment and a high-quality visitor’s experience.

Distilling starting in 2022 and the visitor’s experience is now open. There are two buildings: a brewhouse and a stillhouse, with a third due to be part of a future phase. Bottling, blending, and maturation are part of the tours. Meanwhile, their sourced whiskeys will give you a sense of the styles you can expect. They have spared no expense as their distillate will soon run through prized Forsyth stills. Check the website to learn more about their tastings and tours.
