The story of Glens of Antrim began three generations ago when the McKillop family established Glens of Antrim Potatoes. A thriving business that proudly provides potatoes to the plates of families across Ireland to this day.
With an established background in the food and drink sector the McKillop family recognised an opportunity to create something exciting in Irish Whiskey and began the journey to bring their vision to life
After combing their native Glens of Antrim to find the perfect location, in 2021 they purchased a one of a kind site located on the world renowned coastal route to the Giant’s Causeway.
Surrounded by nature and steeped in history, there could be no better setting to create whiskey than amongst the mountains and valleys in the Glens of Antrim overlooking the Irish Sea
Lir Green Crest, Glens of Antrim Distillery’s very first release, has been expertly crafted with a proportion of the blend finished in Virgin American Oak, giving it its distinct flavour profile. This spirit has a unique style and character, with flavours of toffee, vanilla and chocolate with rich and warming notes. The whiskey takes its name from the mythical tale ‘The Children of Lir’
Whilst Glens of Antrim Distillery are continuing to distil their Irish Whiskey off-site, the journey continues with the build of the facility. Due for completion and, distillation and filling of the first batch of founder's casks commencing in 2023.
