The Killowen Update 🗞️🗞️

It’s been a wonderful, hectic but fun time for the distillery of late. The small team has been torn between visitors tasting events, whiskey releases and whiskey festivals, it hard to pick the best moment of the past few weeks, but these are some of them.

AWARD

Founder & Distiller Brendan Carty won ‘Distiller of the Year’ at the Belfast Whiskey Week awards ceremony among some stiff competition. None of this is possible, if not for the wonderful support the distillery gets from those wonderful folks who appreciate and understand what we do.

BELFAST WHISKEY WEEK 2023

After promising to cut down our participation in events this year (thanks to exhaustion) somehow we got roped into 5 events which enabled us to hang out with many Killowen supporters, these guys are our heroes so the festival was a brilliant success.

BOTTLINGS

Two private bottlings that where arranged years ago, sold out successfully before advertisement namely Belfast Whiskey Week & Barry Chandler’s Stories & Sips group.

NEW STILL

Our new still is finally commissioned, up and running. Being an exact replica of our previous spirit still the spirit tastes as beautiful as before.

KILLOWEN KULT

These guys are having fun as usual and we love them, many have already availed of exclusives and discount offers which will continue. Sadly their social media groups are closed to new membership. Although they are an independent group over a third of them have received Kult cards funded by the distillery. These cards will come available again soon.

The Kult have kindly agreed to allow another 10 members in who avail of a special offer on the USA website folsomwinespirits.com

We love the Kult – thanks for all your support as always.

KILLOWEN IN THE DEAD RABBIT, NEW YORK 

Did you know that Ireland’s Best Poitín – Pangur Irish Poitín – Winner of Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition – is in the World’s Best Bar – The Dead Rabbit, New York City.

Why not pop in if you are in the city and try it in their Seanchaí Cocktail?

Thanks for reading.
