Ballykeefe Distillery, Kilkenny

Cold call today and meet up with Morgan and Jamie. Jamie knows more about packaging than I do 😁 One of the most impressive distilleries I've seen so far and expect great things from them. Well worth a visit as they are very hospitable and welcoming.

If you are anywhere near this place, you definitely need to go see it. If you're not near it, make a road trip. I've seen a lot of new distilleries, and a lot of old favorites, but Ballykeefe stand apart from them all. The people, the place, and the sprits are top notch. Their Poitin is fantastic, and when fully matured, it'll make a fine whiskey to be sure. Their Gin and Vodka are quite good as well. Give them a try, either in person or at your local pub... you'll be glad you did! Tell them Mike from the Irish Whiskey Society of America sent you and they'll let you pet the cows.
