Attention spirits enthusiasts: Ireland’s Burren region has its own distillery. Known as “Burren Distillery” or “Burren Distillers”, the establishment is famous for producing beverages made in the pure Irish tradition. Its location, lost in the middle of the Burren’s limestone plateaux, makes it a strategic asset for producing quality whiskey. Because it’s thanks to local ingredients that the distillery does so well!
Located in the very heart of the Burren, the distillery is a must-see if you love whiskey and are curious about how it’s produced.
Because here at the Burren distillery, whiskey is a matter of passion, tradition and generation. It’s within these walls that a centuries-old manufacturing process is exchanged!
In this respect, Burren Distillery differs somewhat from other Irish distilleries. For the establishment produces a timeless whiskey, faithful to the Gaelic tradition. To achieve this, no ultra-modern machinery is used: everything is produced the old-fashioned way, with traditional equipment and a deep concern for the seasons.
Burren Distillery takes full advantage of its environment, adopting production methods that respect nature. The use of local ingredients, such as pure water from the surrounding mountains and barley grown in Irish fields, underlines its commitment to sustainability and terroir.
The distillation process, meticulously supervised by passionate master distillers, guarantees a final product where quality rhymes with respect for the environment.
