Micil Distillery

Micil Distillery is Galway’s only operational distillery, producing Galway’s first whiskey in over a century. Production at the distillery is headed up by brothers Pádraic & Jimín Ó Griallais, sixth generation Connemara poitín distillers and direct descendants of Micil Mac Chearra, the family’s original distiller. For over 170 years, the craft has been handed down through each generation using Irish, which is still the spoken language at the distillery today, and the Micil family represents Ireland’s longest unbroken family distilling tradition. We produce an award-winning range of Irish Gins, Poitíns, Whiskeys and Cream Liqueur - available through our website and in selected stockists nationwide.
