Skellig Six18 Whiskey

Whiskey named after the 618 steps leading up to one of Ireland's holiest rocky islands. Skellig Six18 comes from County Kerry and takes its name from the ancient stone steps medieval monks carved up to the monastery on Skellig Michael. It's a whiskey trying to capture the same stubborn endurance those monks once showed.

Expert Review
Skellig Six18 Step Collection Limited Edition is an Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey matured in three cask types, bottled at 43%.
The whiskey is the first expression from Skellig Six18 Distillery in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, and the first Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey with a peated profile, inspired by the Atlantic peatlands and the maritime history along the Skellig Coast. It is mashed from both malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills, giving it the silky structure the style is known for. The distillery is housed in a former dry dock, from which locals and visitors once sailed out to Skellig Michael.
