Teeling Whiskey profits begin to flow

Pre-tax profits at the Teeling Whiskey Company soared by 73%, last year, to €2.95m, as the popularity of Irish whiskey continued to grow.

Newly-filed accounts for the company show that its revenues more than trebled to €24.58m in the year that it opened a €10m distillery and visitor centre in the Liberties area of Dublin.

The company — run by brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling, who are the sons of well-known businessman John Teeling — is at the forefront of the Irish whiskey industry, which is projecting combined annual exports, across all makers, of €410m to double by 2020.
