Based in Newmarket, Dublin, the Teeling Whiskey Distillery opened its doors in June 2015 and heralded the revival of distilling in the city as the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years.
Over the last two years it has quickly established the distillery as one of the leading tourist destinations in Dublin and has recently announced a €500,000 expansion of the distillery to tap into growing interest in visiting the home of Teeling Whiskey and its whiskeys both domestically and internationally. Significant investment has been made over the last few years building its new distillery as well as laying down maturing whiskey stocks the first batch of which comes of age in 2018.
