The Teeling Distillery is an Irish whiskey distillery founded in Dublin in 2015 . It is located in Newmarket Square in The Liberties neighborhood.
tradition
In its communication, the company refers to the tradition of Walter Teeling, who founded a distillery in Marrowbone Lane in 1782. This area of Dublin was also called the "Golden Triangle" because of the high density of distilleries. The distillery was later bought by a larger distillery.
Between 1987 and 1989, John Teeling, a descendant of Walter Teeling, converted a former potato distillery in Riverstown into a whiskey distillery. He sold the resulting Cooley Distillery in 2011 to Beam Inc.
Company history
The two sons of John Teelings registered the brand in 2012 and founded the Teeling Distillery in 2015. Jack Teeling thus became CEO and Stephen Teeling Director Sales and Marketing. The basis of this re-establishment was the proceeds from the sale of the father's company and a large amount of casks with whiskey that were still owned by the family. John Teeling, however, founded the Great Northern Distillery. In 2015 , Irish television station TV3 made a four-part documentary about the construction of the new distillery .
In mid-2016, Teeling had 55 employees. In the 2018 financial year, Teeling sold 900,000 bottles of whiskey and achieved sales of € 15.6 million.
The distillery has a visitor center. Tours are available and around 60,000 tourists visit the distillery each year.
Production and bottling
The Teeling distillery has its own malt mill. The equipment also includes a four-ton mash tun and over three stills from Italian production. The conical shape of the stills is unique. The raw spirit typically has an alcohol content of 80 to 90%. The distillery is best known for experimenting with new types of casks. The ripening does not take place in Dublin, however, but in Greenore.
So far, all of the distillery's whiskeys have also been bottled under the brand name "Teeling". They all have 46 % vol and were not bottled cold-filtered . Older bottlings of the brand are most likely still from stocks of the Cooley distillery, the 30-year-old is older than Cooley. Its origin is therefore unclear.
