About This Whiskey
The Drumshanbo Inaugural Release Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a milestone for both The Shed Distillery and the wider Irish whiskey revival. As the first-ever whiskey distilled at Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, it symbolises history in a bottle. For enthusiasts exploring whiskey Ireland, collectors looking to buy whiskey online, or whiskey Dublin customers seeking something extraordinary, this release delivers on every level. With whiskey delivery available across the country, securing this inaugural bottling has never been easier.

Crafted from malted and un-malted Irish barley with the addition of Barra oats, this single pot still expression showcases the creamy texture and peppery spice unique to the style. Matured in a mix of oloroso sherry and ex-bourbon casks, it includes spirit from the first cask filled at The Shed Distillery on 21st December 2014. Officially a NAS (No Age Statement) release, its character reflects years of careful maturation without tying itself to a single number. Bottled at 46% ABV, it balances strength and elegance, making it both a collector’s item and a whiskey to enjoy.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Deep golden amber with inviting clarity and slow, elegant legs.

  • Aroma: Aromas of dried fruit, vanilla sweetness, and peppery spice, layered with sherry richness and subtle oak.

  • Flavour: A complex palate of ripe figs, pot spice, dried fruit, oloroso warmth, oak, and black pepper, carried on a creamy base from the oats.

  • Mouthfeel: Rounded and velvety with a warming, smooth finish that lingers gracefully.

Distillery Overview
The Shed Distillery is the brainchild of PJ Rigney, situated in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim. While best known initially for Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, the distillery has always harboured ambitions to restore whiskey making to Connacht. The Inaugural Release marks the first single pot still whiskey distilled in the province in over a century, and its significance cannot be overstated. Using traditional copper pot stills, small-batch methods, and a mash bill enriched with oats, The Shed Distillery combines heritage with creativity. This release is the first step in what promises to be an enduring legacy of distinctive Irish whiskeys.

Food Pairings / Serving Suggestions
The Drumshanbo Inaugural Release is best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass to appreciate its layered aromas. A few drops of water reveal further nuances of fruit and spice. Pair it with dark chocolate to echo its fig and sherry notes, or try with aged Irish cheese and smoked meats to complement the oak and spice. It makes an ideal after-dinner pour, one that encourages reflection on both flavour and history.

This bottling is a perfect introduction to the hallmark style of Single Pot Still Whiskey, and a reminder of why Ireland’s unique whiskey tradition continues to thrive.
