The heart of the place imbues our whiskey  – be that the rugged raw beauty of Donegal or the congeniality and heartfelt pride –  of its people. Distillation has been passed down through the ages from St Colmcille in 560 AD, who was known to distil alcohol at the bottom of Errigal to the islands poitin makers. We have renewed this craft and want to  warm your heart, through our boutique whiskey offerings.

The Croithlí distillery experience captures the essence of Donegal Gaeltacht whiskey making and the connection with the people, culture and place. Tours take place on the hour every hour from 11am – 5pm Monday to Sunday and last approximately 60 minutes.

Through a stunning audio-visual presentation and engaging tour guides, stories of local mythology, Donegal’s unique connection to the invention of whiskey and the many past lives of the historic building are told. Perfect for a whiskey enthusiast’s quest for information yet creates intrigue for those not familiar with whiskey followed by sampling of your choice in our tasting lounge.
