OUR STORY
At Glens of Antrim Distillery, our story dates back three generations to when the McKillop family founded Glens of Antrim Potatoes. Today, we continue our proud legacy of providing families across Ireland with high-quality produce. But that's not all - we're now expanding our horizons and venturing into the world of whiskey.
Our distillery, due for completion in 2024, will be the home of our signature whiskey. We'll be distilling and filling our founder's casks with the same care and attention to detail that has made our potatoes so popular.
Our whiskey is a labour of love, a tribute to our family's heritage and the stunning landscapes that surround us in the Glens of Antrim.
