Order Skellig Six18 for Your Lake House Bar
One of the most loved parts of staying at The Lake House Kerry is having your own private guest bar.
It is the perfect setting for welcome drinks, family toasts, cocktail evenings, wedding weekends, birthday celebrations, hen and stag weekends, or a relaxed drink by the stove after a day exploring Kerry.
If you would like to stock the bar with something properly local, guests can order directly from the Skellig Six18 online shop before their stay.
Their online shop includes Skellig Six18 Artisan Pot Still Gin, Bilberry Pot Still Gin, whiskey gift boxes, trilogy packs, hampers and other gift options.
It is a brilliant way to bring a Kerry-made touch into your weekend, whether you are planning a first-night toast, a special gift for the group, or something to bring home after your stay.
Group tasting Experiences
Perfect for Group Celebrations
The Lake House Kerry is designed for groups.
We welcome family reunions, friend groups, milestone birthdays, wedding groups, corporate retreats and celebrations of all kinds.
For these kinds of stays, the little details make a big difference.
A bottle of Kerry-made gin for welcome drinks.
A whiskey gift box for the birthday guest.
A hamper for the group.
A tasting pack for the bar.
A distillery visit as part of your weekend itinerary.
Skellig Six18 works beautifully because it gives guests both sides of the experience: a place to visit and a product to enjoy back at The Lake House.
You can spend the day exploring the Skellig Coast, visit the distillery in Cahersiveen, and then return to The Lake House for an evening in your own private bar.
That is exactly the kind of Kerry weekend we love helping guests create.
A Proper Kerry Gift to Bring Home
Not every guest wants another fridge magnet.
Some want something with a story.
Skellig Six18’s products are rooted in the Skellig Coast, with their gin hand-finished at the distillery in Cahersiveen and made using local botanicals that reflect the flavour and character of the area.
That makes their bottles, tasting packs and gift boxes a lovely option for guests who want to bring home something genuinely connected to Kerry.
They also work well for groups who want to mark a special occasion during their stay, whether that is a birthday, retirement, reunion, wedding celebration or long-overdue catch-up with friends.

Please order in good time before your stay, especially if you are planning for a large group or special occasion.
Make It Part of Your Kerry Itinerary
A stay at The Lake House Kerry gives you space to slow down, gather your people, and enjoy Kerry properly.
You might spend one day exploring Kenmare, the Beara Peninsula or the Ring of Kerry. Another day might be for hikes, sea views, local food, or simply enjoying the house and bar.
A visit to Skellig Six18 fits naturally into that kind of trip.
It gives you a taste of the Skellig Coast, a local story to take home, and a chance to experience one of Kerry’s most distinctive distilleries.
And if your group would rather keep things relaxed at the house, you can still bring Skellig Six18 into the weekend by ordering directly from their online shop.
