In evidenza

Step inside Galway cities only working distillery & discover the fascinating story of Ireland’s original spirit, poitín – outlawed here for over 300 years. Learn the real history of poitín and whiskey, how they’re made, and what makes Micil’s spirits so unique. Your guide will take you on a journey from the hills of South Connemara, where our founder first distilled poitín in a small stillhouse, to today’s distillery, run by his great-great-great-grandson. Along the way, you’ll hear daring, funny and heartfelt stories from our family’s illicit past, while experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of a working distillery. The tour includes three guided tastings from our award-winning portfolio – a poitín, a whiskey and a gin – distilled right here around you. It’s an entertaining, hands-on experience that blends heritage, craftsmanship and flavour, and one that every curious visitor to Galway should experience.

  • 5Loved Micel Disillery Tour!

    Marcus did an excellent job sharing the stories and history of the spirits. We learned so much and left with a fond appreciation of the distillery. Highly recommend!

  • 5Bucket List MUST!

    This was the BEST tour! I've done several distillery, brewery or winery tours... our guide at Micil was great! She gave us so much information about the history of spirits in Ireland and Galway, very interesting and different than the North American story. The tastings were generous and our guide obliged one guest with a substitution when requested. I came back to the States with multiple bottles, which NOW are rare, and highly prized as "one of a kind" in my home Pub. Enjoyed every minute and sip.

  • 5Worthwhile trip and value for the money!!

    Really nice place and good atmosphere. The knowledge of the presenter was awesome! The drinks were good and good service if you wanted to test the other drinks they had. Also very nice that they serve food in the bar below which you could go to afterwards or in advance. Worth a visit, definitely!!

  • 5Go to Micil! You will not be disapponted!

    This was an amazing experience. I believe her name was Evie but not sure of the spelling. She was very informative, went through the history,, processes, the lay of the land and especially the myths about Poitin. We were fortunate because the other people coming didn’t show so we had her to ourselves. We were able to sample everything and I am bringing home a few bottles, t-shirts and a wonderful memory of Micil. I would recommend this to anyone.

  • 5Wonderful experience

    This was a wonderful experience! Our guide explained the history of Micil’s and was in depth in explaining what goes into making the different alcohols. The tasting of the different alcohols was quite generous.

About Galway

Galway is a harbour city on Ireland's west coast, with a pedestrian old centre, traditional music, a seaside promenade and Connemara just to the west.

Galway stands where the River Corrib meets Galway Bay, and in the Middle Ages it was ruled by fourteen merchant families known as the Tribes, who built its stone houses and quays. The Spanish Arch recalls the trade with Spain, and Eyre Square, the Latin Quarter around Shop Street and Quay Street, and the Claddagh, a former fishing village that gave its name to the Claddagh ring, form the centre. The cathedral, consecrated in 1965, stands by the river.

Top-ranked sights in Galway: Cliffs of Moher, The Burren, Galway Bay.
