Achill Island Distillery
Review
Achill Island, shrouded in history and mystery, has always been a destination where the landscape itself is undoubtedly the main attraction. However, the Achill Island Distillery is a gem that visitors should not miss. As Ireland’s very first island distillery, they have quickly made their mark, producing award-winning whiskey that truly captures the spirit of the island. The distillery tour is relaxed, informative, and affordable, making it one of the best value experiences along the west coast. The team is friendly and attentive, delivering the story of their craft in a laid-back style that makes absorbing the information effortless. It's clear they know what it takes to create a winning brand, and after the tasting, it’s hard to resist taking a bottle home as a perfect memento. For anyone travelling through Achill or Mayo, exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, a stop at Achill Island Distillery really is an absolute must.

Unfortunately, despite us choosing McLoughlins of Mulranny in good faith, to endorse them as one of our chosen places to sleep and eat in the Co. Mayo chapter of my new Top 100 Attractions on the Island of Ireland book, not all is as it seems here, as things after my meeting with them took a rather disturbing twist.
