Known for its dedication to quality and innovation, the distillery ensures that each bottle of May Loag Bordeaux Smoked Lightly Peated offers a distinctive and unforgettable drinking experience.

May Loag Bordeaux Smoked Lightly Peated is crafted from 100% malted barley, distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and aged in carefully selected casks.

The light peat smoke adds an extra dimension to the flavour profile, making it a unique addition to any whiskey collection.

Located in County Monaghan, the distillery has a long history of producing high-quality Irish whiskeys. Over the centuries, it has garnered numerous awards and accolades, solidifying its reputation as a leader in the industry.
