History and production
A farm distillery in Kilkenny
The Irish Independent says Ballykeefe Distillery, near Kilkenny city, was established in 2016 by farmer Morgan Ging after about 25 years of planning. It revived a tradition of Irish family farm distilleries, where the farmer grows the grain, distils it and feeds the by-product to his animals.
Production: a listing says whiskey production began in 2017 with a single pot still, followed by single malt and single rye
Single malt: Irish Whiskey Magazine reports it as Kilkenny's first distilled single malt in 200 years
Range: whiskey, vodka, poitin and gin, per a company profile
