Feckin is created at the Echlinville Distillery located on the Ards Peninsula in County Down. They are Ireland’s first farm distillery and every drop is trickle pot distilled from barley sown, grown, harvested and malted by hand on their family farm.
Their barley crops are nurtured by the unique micro-climate of the Ards Peninsula. The area’s unique topography, temperate climate, rich soil and saline air have long been credited with making this place one of the finest grain growing regions in Ireland.
Their premium whiskey, gin and poitín are distilled from barley that is malted the old fashioned way on the distillery malting floor. Every grain is repeatedly dampened, dried and turned by hand and shovel.
The word Feckin means to steal, throw and to leave. It's used as a slang expression to express disbelief, pain, anger or contempt.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Sweet, soft and oaky with hints of caramel.
Palate - Smooth, medium dry with buttery popcorn and honey.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
