AboutLough Gill Distillery
Lough Gill Distillery stands at Hazelwood Demesne on the wooded shore of Lough Gill in County Sligo. Family-owned Sazerac acquired the distillery in 2022, retaining the existing team.
Athrú, its single malt label, takes its name from the Irish for change or transformation. At the distillery, locally grown Irish heritage grain and water from the estate’s aquifer are used to make spirit.
Athru Knocknarea 14 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey
Fresh linen, pencil shavings, sandalwood and cedar give the aroma a dry, quietly polished opening. The palate turns richer, bringing mince pie, caramel and dark sweetness into warming oak and gentle spice. The texture is full without becoming heavy. Pepper builds toward the finish, joined by cigar box, seasoned wood and a lingering echo of caramel.
Athru Annacoona 14 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey
Vanilla, caramelized apple and orange oil open the aroma, followed by dried fruit and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and silky, bringing raisins, prunes and clove into salted caramel and warming spice. Sweetness is generous but balanced by depth and structure. The finish lingers on mocha, jammy cherry, vanilla and a measured trace of oak.
