Micil Poitin

Crystal clear in colour. Distilled in our hybrid copper pot still, the spirit cuts are made through sensory analysis alone, giving an incredibly refined spirit. The bouquet brings warm honey spice with vibrant fruits, distinct malt character, balancing floral notes on the palate and an elegant velvety texture on the finish.

Micil Distillery was named in honour of our great-great-great grandfather, Micil Mac Chearra, who began distilling illicit poitín in 1848 on a Connemara hillside. Our family have been crafting exceptional Irish spirits on the shores of Galway Bay ever since, and we represent Ireland’s longest unbroken family distilling tradition. For over 170 years our family have preserved these traditions, skills and recipes, handing them down by word of mouth through the Irish language from generation to generation.
