About Micil Distillery
Micil Distillery is named in honour of our great-great-great grandfather, Micil Mac
Chearra, who began distilling poitín in 1848 on a Connemara hillside. For six generations
and over 170 years our family have preserved the craft, distilling extraordinary spirits
made using family recipes, craft knowledge and time-honoured techniques.
In 2020 we commenced whiskey production at Micil, laying down Galway’s first legal
spirit in over a century. While our own whiskey matures we’ve released a series of Micil
Whiskeys, using spirit sourced, finished and independently bottled by Micil, and inspired
by the historical ‘fuisce’ distilling traditions of Galway City and Connemara. Finished in
our own casks, these whiskeys reflect the style of ‘Galway Whiskey’ that we’re reviving at
Micil, and are a small taste of what’s to come
