Connacht Single Malt Batch One

The Connacht Distillery story starts on the northwest coast of Ireland, in the wild, rugged, landscape of County Mayo in the province of Connacht.

Funded by Master Distiller Robert Cassell and a team that saw the potential in Irish whiskey, the derelict old Duffy’s Bakery site in Ballina was painstakingly renovated, with whiskey production commencing in 2016.

Stuated where the River Moy’s pure, fresh, water rushes down to meet the in-flowing salty atlantic ocean, dramatic shifts in atmospheric pressure exert an ever-changing influence on the whiskey maturing in their barrels.
