New distillery to produce whiskey in Belfast for first time in nearly 90 years

Titanic Distillers has been granted its licence and is now pouring at the distillery, which will produce single malt whiskey made from a blend of malted barley and yeast.

Titanic Distillers said whiskey from the site could be a new export for Northern Ireland (Titanic Distillers/PA)

Whiskey production has begun again in Belfast for the first time since the 1930s.

An £8 million (€9.3m) conversion on the site of the Thompson Dock and Pumphouse in Titanic Quarter now facilitates the city’s first working whiskey distillery in nearly 90 years.
