About the company
Glendalough Distillery was started by a few of friends from Wicklow and Dublin. They convinced eachother to leave the safety of their day jobs in the city, and head for the Wicklow Mountains to do something more meaningful - much like the man on their bottle, St Kevin. With a portfolio of different varieties of whiskey, gin, and poitín, some made from fresh wild ingredients, they have a craft spirit to suit every taste.
Key Sustainability Commitments
Committed to Responsible Sourcing
Sources all botanical herbs from 100% sustainable sources.
Focus on Reducing Waste and Energy
Zero packaging waste for all foraged materials, locally grown and produced baskets are reused each year for harvest. Zero carbon footprint of foraged foods compared to cultivated produce, as no human input is required to make wild plants grow.
