June O'Connor, Paddy Cooney and Patrick Sugrue launched Skellig Six18 distillery in October 2019.

The three who have strong ties to Cahiersiveen launched the €10 million micro-distiller in a former sock manufacturing plant in a location where the landscape is rich with natural ingredients from the woodland to the Atlantic seashore.
