In 2023, Micil Distillery increased IGAS-certified grain, surpassing their milestone target by 31%.
In 2023, Micil Distillery made significant strides in enhancing the quality and sustainability of its raw materials. By working with two distinct grain suppliers - one small, specialised supplier providing unique peated grain from a single local farm, and one large, established supplier offering consistent but less differentiated grain – the company has found a balance between distinctive quality and reliability. The minimal transportation of the small supplier’s grain adds to its appeal by reducing environmental impact, while the large supplier ensures high-quality, homogeneous grain.
Notably, the distillery has surpassed its milestone target by 31% by increasing its sourcing of IGAS-certified grain from 33% in 2022 to 66% in 2023. Additionally, Micil Distillery maintained its target of sourcing 100% of the cream used in its Irish cream production from SDAS-approved suppliers. Looking ahead, Micil Distillery plan to strengthen supplier relationships and place a greater focus on sustainability certifications, striving for even greater transparency and environmental responsibility in its supply chain.
