Killowen Distillery Tour

Killowen Distillery is seated in the heart of the Mournes in County Down where horizons are framed by sweeping hills that slope gently into the sea. It is a place where old traditions and the finest natural resources have been blended to produce world class craft spirits. The rivers coursing through the mountains are filtered by ancient stones and the areas semi maritime land have long produced the highest quality grain crops. In our pursuit of perfecting the ancient alchemy of whiskey making, our Master Distiller has married these together and by using new recipes, has transformed these elements into liquid gold.
