Teelings in €10m distillery project

The famous Teeling spirits dynasty is bringing whiskey-making back to Dublin after a near 40-year absence with a new €10m distillery.

The Teeling Whiskey Company, which grew out of the sale of Cooley Distillery, two years ago — is to build a new distillery at Newmarket Square, in The Liberties area of the capital, near to where the family originally began crafting whiskey in the late 1700s.

The Teeling Whiskey Company’s new operation — which should be operational approximately 12 months from now — will be the first distillery built in Dublin in over 125 years. Whiskey-making ceased in the capital when Powers moved production to Midleton, Co Cork, in the mid-1970s.
