Whiskey Lovers Rejoice as the Teeling Distillery Officially Opens it’s Doors

Adding a superb addition to both Dublin tourism and Irish whiskey, the day has finally come, after three years of hard work and planning for The Teeling Whiskey Company to officially open its brand new distillery and visitor centre in The Liberties, Dublin. The €10 million distillery is the first in Dublin in over 125 years and the only fully operational distillery in the city at present.

As well as fully functioning distillery, there is a state-of-the-art visitor centre which will host whiskey tasting tours, a café, a bar, a private event space for hire and a gift shop. The visitor centre will officially start taking paying visitors from Saturday 13th June and will be open from 9.30am – 5.30pm 7 days a week.

Founded by Jack Teeling in 2012, TWC was set up to revive his family-old trademark of Irish whiskey and bring distilling back to Dublin, where Walter Teeling had a distillery on Marrowbone Lane in the 18th century. The Teeling Whiskey Company is run by Jack together with his brother Stephen.

The opening of this new distillery means that TWC has complete control of all aspects of its whiskey production, from grain to bottle, so that it can truly lead the category in terms of innovation and build on the company’s ever growing reputation of producing some of the world’s best whiskeys. Most recently, Teeling Single Malt was named ‘World’s Best’ at the 2015 World Whiskies Awards and Teeing Small Batch was awarded ‘Best Blended Irish Whiskey’ at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Irish whiskey is currently experiencing a surge in popularity both at home and abroad and is the fastest growing spirits category in the world. According to an IWSR/Just drinks report, Irish whiskey is expected to grow by +60% between 2014 and 2019 and it is estimated that 96 million bottles of Irish whiskey will be sold globally by 2016. That is a lot of whiskey and a huge indicator of the desire for quality distilled whiskey with real history behind it.

Jack Teeling, founder and managing director of the Teeling Whiskey Company commented:

Today is a momentous day in the history of our company and something we have been working towards for the last three years. We are delighted to officially open our brand new distillery and bring back the tradition of distilling to Dublin. We are also looking forward to opening our doors to our first official visitors this weekend and we’re confident that our distillery will become a must-visit destination for tourists to Dublin from all over the world.”

Entrance Price is from €14.00 per person which includes whiskey & cocktail tasting.
