After a century, historic Irish whiskey Limavady is making a leap back into the market.
The brand, which began making whisky in 1750 and was around until 1910, was just relaunched by distiller Darry McNally. He’s a direct descendant of the 18th century distillers. His first product is a single barrel, single malt Irish whiskey finished in a PX sherry cask, which is now available in select cities across the U.S.
Limavady comes from the Gaelic “Leim an Mhadaidh” (the leap of the dog), which is a story about an Irish wolf hound that leaped across the River Roe to warn its master about an enemy ambush. Limavady is celebrating its namesake with an exciting trade contest: #DrinkingWithDogs.
