Visit the shed distillery

Great tour, great shop and really lovely restaurant We loved the informative and imaginative tour last year so much that we decided to go back to the lovely restaurant and shop. Both the breakfast and Lunch menu were lovely with a great selection of both savory and sweet options (had to take some of the cakes home..). Great to be able to add soup or chips on to some of the menu for a very reasonable extra charge.
The shop has an amazing range of creative gifts, with locally made products available (loved the Rainbow beeswax candles), love the glasses and the muddler spoon. Bought the "green" bottle this time as we loved the cocktail with the ginger beer we got at the end of our tour, it was too easy to drink!! Thank you for letting me try the new gin, but I am sticking to the original which every gin drinker needs to try if you have not done so already. TIP: Slice and freeze slices of pink grapefruit so that you always have the correct botanical garnish.

Superb Shed Great experience and lovely staff. The cocktails are excellent and well crafted. Plenty of space in bar to o chill and enjoy

Fantastic, interesting tour A very interesting tour. Well worth a visit! Very good price for off season and lovely G&T in the bar part of the tour was well worth the experience

Brilliant Very interesting went with 2 teenagers who both thought it was better than they expected even though they couldn't sample it they loved how it all evolved and history behind process

Wonderful tour. Even better whiskey. Go. I've toured my share of distilleries, wineries, and breweries, and the experiences tend to vary mostly on the basis of scenery and libation. They point out the mash tun. Talk about their accolades. Send you to the giftshop. Not so at The Shed.

This tour is a walking narrative of a curious mind, a transcontinental journey of influence and inspiration. Led by a charismatic and eloquent guide, this slow stroll takes you through a distinctly gorgeous copper distillery and into insanely well-decorated rooms. You are given a tasting at a long table set with silver trays and crystal glasses surrounded by aging barrels. The whiskey itself is a triumph — a soft, round complexity that opens up into a landscape of spice and honey. I didn't even want to swallow the stuff. I did, of course. I wasn't about to spit it out.

The Shed itself is situated in lovely Leitrim, one of the more underrated counties in the West of Ireland. Take some time to explore the local townlands. It might be out of the way for most itineraries, but it shouldn't be out of yours.

10/10. Go. Sip. Pick up a bottle. Reminisce.
