Absolutely loved this tour! One of the best we have been on (and we have been to a few both back home in Canada and in Scotland). The tour host, Trish, was incredibly knowledgeable and gracious with her time and engagement. As they distill both gin and whiskey it is like getting two tours in one and despite having done whiskey tours before we feel like we still learned a few new things. The whiskey and gin are phenomenal and the whiskey is shockingly smooth considering the young age (you learn why on the tour). The gin is a bit dangerous as it has no bite and is all flavour. Wish we had more room in our bags to take more home. Could not recommend enough - we are so glad we stopped in for this. One of the highlights of the trip so far.
Lovely distillery on the beautiful West coast of Ireland. Stopped by on the way back from sightseeing as the previous day we had visited the Skellig Islands. Had a short wait for a distillery tour and tasting. More for my wife than me as I dont really like Whisky, however I do enjoy a gin and really enjoyed theirs. We brought a bottle of Whisky home with us too. After our tour it turns out I left my credit card in the shop, so a big thank you to Cathal for telling me and keeping it safe.
Today we had a very enjoyable and interesting tour of the Skellig Six18 distillery with our lovely and enthusiastic guide, Shannon. Great to learn about the local history and the production proces. And very important: the whiskey tasted great! It was inspiring and definitely recommended!
I visited Skellig Six 18 thanks to Asana International School. The tour was a sensory experience and the guide was very informative about the whiskey and gin production and made the visit entertaining with a good sense of humour. I highly recommend visiting Skellig Six 18 to anyone traveling to this region.
Recently, we visited Skellig Six 18 with a group of 11 people, and everyone was very happy. The tour was well-organized, and our guide, Tonny, deserves special thanks. He not only shared interesting facts about whiskey production but also created a great atmosphere, making the visit fun and informative. I also want to mention the special touch – the sound of ocean waves playing through speakers at the distillery. It adds a unique feeling and reminds you of the nature and history of this place. We were pleasantly surprised by such details. I highly recommend visiting Skellig Six 18 to anyone traveling to this region. It’s an unforgettable experience!
