The beginnings of Sliabh Liag Distillers had many sources and inspirations and all with the aim of building a whiskey business and creating opportunity and employment on the Sliabh Liag peninsula.
At the heart the endeavour are James and Moira Doherty and James Keith, supported by Domenic De Lorenzo and John Davidson (Chairman) who joined as investors and non-executive directors in 2017. They have been joined by new investors, including Údarás na Gaeltachta, who have become an equally supportive extended family.
We will never forget Oliver Hughes, an original Founder, who died in 2016 and who’s wife Helen remains committed to the distillery and is represented by their son Elliot.
