Teeling Whiskey tasting at Cargo

7th March 2017

TEELING WHISKEY

Whiskey making and entrepreneurship has been in the Teeling genes as far back as 1782,

when Walter Teeling set up a small craft distillery on Marrowbone Lane, Dublin 8.

Right back in the heart of the Liberties district of Dublin city,

Jack and Stephen Teeling, the latest generation of whiskey makers,

set up the Teeling Whiskey Company in 2012.

In March 2015 they opened the Teeling Whiskey Distillery

the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years,

and just a stone’s throw from their ancestral distillery,

right in the heart of the Golden Triangle,

the historic distilling district of the city.

Brought to the brink of near extinction, Irish whiskey refused to back down.

Now a new generation of whiskey drinkers are discovering,

enjoying and embracing the liquid that once conquered the world.

Since 1990, Irish whiskey has been the fastest growing premium spirit globally – truly a new Golden Era has begun.

With renewed interest in Irish whiskey at home and abroad,

We are seeing the revival of hand-crafted, flavoursome and unique whiskeys, the kind they were once famous for.

This era has begun to be defined by small, craft producers, and Teeling are proud to be leading the way,

with innovation and liquid excellence at the core of everything they do.

Irish whiskey has experienced dynamic growth for over twenty years yet still only commands 5% of the global market

and the industry is expected to double over the next 10 years.
