Glendalough Distillery

Ireland's First Craft Distillery

In the 18th & 19th centuries there were over 200 licensed distilleries in Ireland and along with countless unlicensed ones produced diverse styles of poitín, whiskey, gin and even absinthe. Until recently that dropped to a small handful.

Glendalough Distillery is now part of a revival of this heritage. The Glendalough Distillery was set up by five friends from Wicklow and Dublin with a deep passion for reviving the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland, and who wanted to make innovative spirits while staying true to the tradition and heritage of their ancestors.

The aim of Glendalough Distillery is to recapture Ireland’s lost heritage of great spirit production and create new, exciting and contemporary brands.
