Lough Ree

Midlands, Ireland · 2014'den beri

Lough Ree Distillery was established in 2014 on the banks of the River Shannon near Athlone, in the heart of Ireland's Midlands, drawing its name from the great lake that stretches to the north. As part of Ireland's vibrant independent distilling renaissance, this small-batch producer embraces a deeply regional identity — sourcing local grains and the pristine waters of the Shannon catchment to shape its spirit. The distillery crafts both malt and pot still expressions, honouring the breadth of Irish whiskey tradition while allowing its own character to emerge gradually through careful maturation. Expect a profile that leans toward approachable sweetness, gentle cereal notes and the hallmark smoothness that defines Irish whisky at its most considered. Lough Ree is not a name built on grand marketing campaigns; rather, it earns its reputation quietly, bottle by bottle, reflecting the calm, expansive waters that inspired it. For those who seek Irish whiskey rooted in place and produced with patience, Lough Ree offers a compelling and sincere expression of Midlands craftsmanship.
