'Overwhelming' response to ballot for first bottles of Sliabh Liag Whiskey

With only 100 bottles being released, there has been a massive demand for the Sliabh Liag Single Malt Irish Whiskey.

This is the first whiskey to be legally distilled in Donegal since 1841, and Sliabh Liag Distillers in Ardara has already built a strong reputation for innovation, quality and a deep connection with place and heritage.

Little wonder then that there is such demand for their last and long awaited first Donegal-distilled whiskey.
