Teeling Distillery — Dublin Single Malt Whisky

Teeling Distillery is an Irish whiskey distillery located in the Liberties area of Dublin, Ireland. It was founded in 2015 and is currently majority-owned by Bacardi Limited. It was the first new whiskey distillery to open in Dublin city in over 125 years, ending a near-40-year gap since the last distillery closed in the capital.

History

Teeling Distillery was established in Newmarket Square, in Dublin's historic Liberties whiskey-distilling quarter, by brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling. Their father, John Teeling, founded Cooley Distillery in 1987 and revived Irish whiskey production after the near-collapse of the industry in the 20th century; the Teeling family sold Cooley to Beam Suntory in 2011 before Jack and Stephen went on to found their own venture in Dublin. The Teeling name has a much older connection to Irish whiskey: an ancestor, Walter Teeling, ran a distillery on nearby Marrowbone Lane as far back as 1782, at a time when the Liberties was home to dozens of working distilleries. The new distillery opened to the public in June 2015, complete with a visitor centre, café and shop, and quickly became a hub for Dublin's whiskey tourism, employing around 55 staff and exporting to some 44 countries. In December 2023, global spirits group Bacardi Limited took a majority stake in Teeling Whiskey Company, while the Teeling family retained an ongoing role in the business. The distillery has picked up numerous industry accolades, including three World Whiskies Awards in 2016 for its Single Malt expressions.
