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.
