BALLYKEEFE DISTILLERY LIMITED

Ballykeefe Distillery Limited is an on‑farm, eco‑friendly producer of super‑premium Irish spirits, set in the picturesque countryside just outside Kilkenny, Ireland’s medieval capital. Drawing on the rich agricultural heritage of the region, the distillery crafts a celebrated range of gin, poitín, vodka and other spirits, each distilled on the very fields from which the raw ingredients are sourced.

The brand’s trio of gins – Lady Desart Gin, Extra Dry Irish Gin and Sloe Gin – have all secured gold medals at prestigious international competitions, while the poitín earned Master Class at the 2018 Global Spirits Masters and a gold at the Irish Whiskey Awards. Their vodka was named Best Irish Vodka at the same awards, and the distillery was recognised as the third‑most sustainable factory at the 2018 Food and Drink Business Awards. Ballykeefe also welcomes visitors for an immersive distillery tour, concluding with a guided tasting in a beautifully designed visitor centre, offering enthusiasts a chance to experience the craft behind each award‑winning spirit.
