Glendalough Distillery

We're a group of friends who always loved Irish whiskey. We'd meet up for a drink and talk a good game. Eventually, we convinced ourselves to leave the safety of our city jobs, and headed into the mountains to take a chance on something more meaningful - much like the man on our bottle, St Kevin. Together we built a craft distillery near our favourite spot in those mountains, Glendalough. Glendalough {The Glen of Two Lakes} is a glacial valley nestled in the Wicklow Mountains. Just south of Dublin, County Wicklow is known as “the garden of Ireland” - a reputation it lives up to with ease. Besides its natural beauty, Glendalough is renowned for its early medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin, a legendary monk and the man on our bottle. The craft of distilling spirits was invented and nurtured in Irish monasteries like Glendalough around this time. As an area of outstanding natural beauty and history, it is one of the most visited places in Ireland. It is a place that will stir your soul and lift your spirit. And for us, it is a unique home for our brands of whiskey, poitín and gin.
