WATCH: Leitrim people left 'speechless' after being asked this question on the street

A lighthearted promotional video by a well-known Leitrim company has left locals - quite literally - lost for words.

In the viral clip which has racked up over 130,000 views while doing the rounds on TikTok, an interviewer approaches people on the street and in a shop in Drumshanbo with a seemingly simple question: "What's your favourite thing about Leitrim?"

Cue a series of hesitant faces, long pauses, and a chorus of "Ehh..." as the unsuspecting interviewees struggle to come up with an answer.

One man, however, doesn't hesitate, delivering a brutally honest "nothing". 

Just when it seems that no one can muster up a response, the video takes a clever turn. 

The interviewer leans in to whisper in a young man's ear before he confidently replies: "The Shed Distillery by PJ Rigney."

The tongue-in-cheek ad has sparked plenty of laughs online, with viewers praising the clever marketing stunt by the producers best known for their Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin. 

You can watch the full video below.
