Experience Irish Whiskey history in the making at Ahascragh Distillery, Ireland’s first energised zero-emissions Irish Whiskey distillery, located in the picturesque countryside of County Galway.

The eco-distillery founded by Gareth and Michelle McAllister, is powered by renewable energy – wind, solar and coming soon, hydro, using very high temperature heat pump technology and an energy efficient storage system. As no fossil fuels or gas are used to drive the production process, there are no carbon emissions from the energy supply side of the distillery. As a result, the spirit to flow from Ahascragh Distillery can be classified as zero emissions, minimising the impact to the local environment.
