Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Crafted with innovation and deep respect for Irish tradition, the Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a luxurious expression of modern craftsmanship from The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim.
Made using a traditional mash bill of malted and unmalted barley enriched with Irish Barra oats, it delivers exceptional texture, depth, and balance - a true reflection of Ireland’s oldest whiskey style reborn.

Bottled at 43% ABV and non-chill filtered, it retains all the natural character and body of a handcrafted pot still whiskey.
The creation of PJ Rigney and his team at The Shed Distillery, Drumshanbo Single Pot Still captures the spirit of curiosity and tradition - blending time-honoured methods with a touch of contemporary artistry.

NVThe Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a strikingly modern expression of Ireland’s oldest whiskey style — crafted with innovation, integrity, and respect for tradition. Produced in small batches at The Shed Distillery in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, it combines malted and unmalted barley with a touch of Irish Barra oats, creating a uniquely creamy and textured spirit.
Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks, this whiskey captures the best of both worlds — the vanilla, honey, and caramel smoothness of American oak balanced by the rich fruit, spice, and nutty sweetness of Spanish sherry wood. Bottled at 43% ABV and non-chill filtered, it delivers an authentic pot still experience with depth, warmth, and precision.
Smooth, full-bodied, and elegantly spiced, Drumshanbo Single Pot Still offers layers of malted grain, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts, finishing long and complex with hints of caramel and oak. It is both a tribute to Ireland’s distilling heritage and a confident statement of modern Irish craft.
The Shed Distillery, founded by PJ Rigney in 2014, stands proudly in the wild heart of Drumshanbo, County Leitrim — a region steeped in tradition, myth, and craftsmanship. Known for its artisanal approach and copper pot stills, the distillery embraces experimentation while honouring the fundamentals of Irish whiskey-making.
Drumshanbo’s use of Barra oats is a nod to the early Irish distillers who often used local grains to enrich their mashbills. This creative spirit defines the distillery’s ethos — to craft whiskeys that are true to their place yet unafraid to innovate.
A perfect harmony of heritage and innovation, Drumshanbo Single Pot Still is a whiskey of character and charm — expressive, textured, and unmistakably Irish.
