Leinster whiskey

Leinster is the heartbeat of Ireland’s historic distilling traditions and its modern urban renaissance. In Dublin’s historic Liberties, Teeling and Roe & Co brought pot still and grain distilling back to the capital after decades of absence.

Beyond the city, the Leinster countryside is home to Cooley in County Louth, producers of the peated Connemara and Tyrconnell single malts, as well as Kilbeggan, the historic Tullamore DEW distillery in County Offaly, Slane in County Meath, and Glendalough in County Wicklow.
