Limavady Single Barrel Irish Whiskey: The Spirit of Innovation and Irish Tradition

Bold, rich, and elegantly crafted, Limavady Single Barrel Irish Whiskey represents a perfect balance between heritage and innovation. Revived from one of Ireland’s oldest whiskey brands, Limavady has been reimagined for the modern era by Master Distiller Darryl McNally, combining centuries of Irish craftsmanship with the precision of single barrel production.

This exceptional whiskey is a true small-batch, single barrel Irish spirit  each bottle uniquely numbered and offering a one-of-a-kind tasting experience.

The Legacy of Limavady

The story of Limavady Whiskey dates back to 1750, when the brand first emerged from County Londonderry in Northern Ireland. Once a respected name in Irish whiskey, Limavady disappeared for generations  until Darryl McNally, a descendant of the original Limavady distillers and former master distiller at The Dublin Liberties Distillery, brought it back to life.

Today, Limavady is part of a visionary partnership with WhistlePig Whiskey, blending Ireland’s long-standing whiskey heritage with an innovative single barrel approach rarely seen in Irish whiskey.

What Makes Limavady Single Barrel Special

Unlike traditional blended Irish whiskies, Limavady is a single barrel, triple-distilled whiskey  each batch drawn from a single ex-bourbon cask and finished in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask. This meticulous process results in a whiskey of remarkable depth, complexity, and individuality.

 Tasting Notes:
