Single Malt Irish Whiskey - Galánta Release

When PJ Rigney set out to make Irish whiskey from The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, he wasn't content simply to add another expression to an already crowded category. He wanted to make history — and with the Galánta Release, that's precisely what he did. Named after the Irish word for bravery and excellence, Galánta is the first single malt Irish whiskey distilled in Connacht, Ireland's western province, in over 107 years. Crafted exclusively from 100% malted Irish barley, it carries no added color and no chill filtration — every bottle individually numbered by hand as a mark of its rare, limited character. Rich with golden caramel and roasted complexity, balanced by honey sweetness and warm spice, Galánta is a whiskey that is honest, expressive, and deeply connected to the wild, unspoiled landscape of Co. Leitrim. A long time coming, and every bit worth the wait.

The whiskey ethos at The Shed Distillery prioritizes exceptional quality over quantity and all whiskey is made in small quantities and never rushed to a deadline. Distilled exclusively from 100% malted Irish barley by Head Distiller Brian Taft at The Shed Distillery, Drumshanbo. Triple-distilled in copper pot stills. No color added, non-chill filtered. Each bottle is individually numbered. Aged in single-use Kentucky Bourbon casks, hand-selected by Brian to impart intriguing vanilla and wood spice.

Golden caramel and roasted coffee on the nose give way to honey, roasted nuts, and sweet apple — with a lingering warmth of spice on the finish.
