Lough Gill Distillery Resume
History
Lough Gill Distillery was founded in 2014 by a group of whisky enthusiasts who wanted to create a world-class single malt distillery in Sligo, Ireland. The distillery sits on Hazelwood Estate, which has a rich history and is inspired by Irish folklore and mythology.
Production
The distillery uses modern equipment and energy-recovery technology to produce high-quality whisky. Each drop is triple-distilled in the traditional Irish style, and the distillery has the capacity to produce over a million litres of alcohol annually. The water used comes from an ice-age aquifer beneath Lough Gill, which gives a unique flavor profile.
