Skellig Six18 was inspired by the Skellig landscape that is defined by the tenacity, muinĂn and grit of the 6th century monks who built a monastery at the edge of the world. Off the Wild Atlantic coastline, this ancient monastery can only be reached by climbing six hundred & 18 steps to the top of the Skellig Michael. The Skellig Six18 Distillery, which looks out on to the Atlantic and across to Valentia Island here in South County Kerry on the Wild Atlantic Way, has a Visitor Experience, a 500 litre bespoke still distilling Skellig Six18 Gin, with plans to have an operational whiskey distillery.
