Did you know that the original distillery on the site was actually called Bow Street Distillery, after its street name until John Jameson took ownership and expanded the distillery and business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that each copper still can hold up to 24,000 gallons of whiskey? Did you know that in 1886 the distillery had undergone so much expansion it was described as a \u201ccity within a city\u201d and house a Smithy, Cooperage, saw mills, engineers and coppersmith workshops?<\/p>\n

Tours of the Old Jameson Distillery do not disappoint. Although not a working distillery anymore, the\u00a0distillery has been recreated to how it was back in its heyday. Visitors start with an audio-visual presentation of the history of whiskey and its production in Ireland and then are taken through the distillery and past the barrels, cellars and copper stills which used to produce Dublin\u2019s popular tipple. The tour ends at the bar where you can enjoy a complimentary glass of Jameson, to appreciate how it was made from beginning to end.<\/p>\n

The Teeling Whiskey Distillery is the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years and will bring the craft of distilling back into the very heart of Dublin city centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new distillery is right back where it started in 1782 and only a stone’s throw away from where Walter Teeling’s old distillery was. Located in an ancient market square called Newmarket, an area long associated with brewing and distilling, the new distillery is a three copper pot still operation reviving the traditional style of Dublin whiskey distillation.<\/p>\n

“Our philosophy is that while we are respectful to the rich provenance and heritage of Irish whiskey, as a new generation of Irish whiskey makers we are confident to forge a new future for Dublin and Irish whiskey. Our distillery will be open for visitors in 2015 allowing you to come see, smell and experience a real operational distillery and interact with the people making Teeling whiskey.”<\/p>\n
