Ahascragh Distillery Ireland's first Eco-Distillery

Built within a restored nineteenth century mill, Ahascragh Distillery is Ireland’s first zero-emissions distillery and offers a unique experience for all whiskey and gin enthusiasts and those interested in history, tradition and craftsmanship.

Run by husband-and-wife team, Gareth and Michelle McAllister, Ahascragh Distillery is powered through innovative use of wind and solar energy combined with high temperature heat pump technology, a first for the Irish drinks industry. Ahascragh Distillery has reached another significant milestone for sustainability in the Irish drinks industry with the introduction of Ireland’s first zero energy emissions ‘New Born’ spirit. Upon reaching maturation, ‘New Born’ will first flow into UAIS. Their range of award-winning products include the Xin Gin, UAIS Irish Whiskey and Clan Colla Irish Whiskey.

All guests to the distillery can taste and tour their way around the state-of-the-art Ahascragh Distillery, exploring whiskey and gin production from grain to glass and the history of an old mill. All Ahascragh Distillery tours are fully guided and finish with a tasting of their award-winning whiskeys and gin, creating memories and tastes that will linger long after your visit. Guided tours available include; Visitor Experience & Premium Tasting Tour. Both are fully accessible and will take tour-goers on an exploration of whiskey and gin production from grain to glass and the history of an old mill with a tasting of their award-winning products to finish. On the standard visitor experience guests can enjoy UAIS and Clan Colla whiskeys and Xin Gin, while the premium tour offers visitors premium spirits expertly paired with chocolate and local cheese.
