Skellig Six18 Distillery Tours

Fantastic whiskey tasting experience with a group of colleagues. Cathal was an excellent host, providing an engaging and highly informative experience throughout. I would highly recommend this tasting to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

A super young distillery, but therefore also super modern. The process of making whisky is explained super well and illustrated with various vivid examples. Even scent samples of different barrels. But not only whisky is produced, but also gin. Here you get such deep insights and visit the production facility. Along the way, there is a ton of historical information - but in an authentic and partly funny way. The time flew by and was rounded off worthily at the end with a tasting. And the whisky and gin taste good too. Highly recommended!

We decided very spontaneously to book a whiskey tour there after we drove past the distillery the day before. We just went there in the morning and were warmly welcomed; Patricia took us along and explained the history of the distillery as well as that of Irish whiskey in a very entertaining way. She also gave us exciting insights into the production process, and afterwards, the production of gin could not be left out. We were also able to test the different scents at various stations - everything was really designed with great care. In the end, the tasting could of course not be missing.

We were greeted by our guide, the lovely Trish, who was both entertaining & knowledgeable. The gin distillery is fully up and running. Using locally sourced botanical flavouring. I did not try this product but the explanation was detailed and easy to understand. The whiskey base products are currently bought in but plans are in place for 3 new stills. Currently the mashing, blending and storage in casks for 4 or 6 years is completed on site. Again very detailed explanations and Trish knew her stuff! The whiskeys we tasted were superb. I fully recommend a visit &, of course, purchasing the whiskey from their onsite shop!

We toured 3 distilleries while in Ireland, and Skellig was the best by far. Patricia was an amazing tour guide and was so personable. We got to smell each spice individually, which was really cool. We purchased a bottle of the 8 yr old whiskey and are very excited to bring it home to America. We will definitely tell our friends to go if they come to Ireland.
