Founded on the shores of Lough Allen, The Shed Distillery is not just a distillery; it's a beacon of innovation in the traditional world of Irish whiskey. Established by the visionary PJ Rigney, the distillery has quickly risen to prominence since its inception, earning accolades for its unique approach to whiskey making and commitment to quality.
Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is meticulously crafted using a combination of malted Irish barley and un-malted barley, distilled in traditional copper pot stills. This method, known as "Single Pot Still," is quintessentially Irish, revered for producing richly flavoured and distinctly smooth spirits. The whiskey is aged in carefully selected casks to ensure a perfect balance of flavours and aromas that epitomize the lush landscapes of its Irish origins.
The Shed Distillery has embraced its role as a custodian of distilling heritage while pushing the boundaries of what Irish whiskey can be. Established in 2014, it marks a return to the local distilling traditions that were once the backbone of small Irish communities. Drumshanbo's whiskies have not only captured the hearts of locals but have also garnered international fame, making a significant mark on the global stage with numerous awards.
