Lough Ree Distillery in Lanesborough, Co Longford was set up by Sheila Clancy and her brothers Michael and Peter, producing its first spirit in 2018. The micro distillery now has a visitor centre and has been the recipient of a number of national and international awards for their gin, vodka and whiskey.
Here we got a taste of the future, the next scheduled release from Lough Ree which is a 6 year old single malt, initially matured in rioja casks and is currently being finished in craft beer casks.
As with all of Lough Ree's whiskeys, it is a non chill-filtered whiskey with no added colour.
