"Launched in 2015 as the first new distillery in Dublin in over a century, this family-owned operation helped revive the city’s distilling scene and releases expressions like the Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey, which employs peat smoke to dry the barley and delivers a smoky character more commonly associated with Scotch." - Laura Dannen Redman
"A Dublin-based, family-run distillery operated by brothers Jack and Stephen that normally has a buzzy atmosphere but may close for St. Patrick’s Day; they promote at-home whiskey-and-cheese pairings for novices and aficionados alike, recommending Small Batch with Brie or Camembert (creamy/sweet mouthfeel), Single Grain with mature Cheddar, Emmental, or Beaufort (drier, full-bodied), and Single Malt with sharp aged Cheddar, blue cheese, or goat cheese (heavy, bold flavors). Their online resources also include chocolate pairings and cocktail recipes." - Laura Dannen Redman
"Born from a family distilling tradition dating to 1782, this Dublin operation revived a dormant family trademark in 2012 and opened the first new distillery in the city in more than 125 years, bringing whiskey-making back to Dublin after roughly four decades. Located in the Liberties neighborhood, it blends heritage and modernity: everything is produced in small batches, experiments with cask types and finishing (including marrying grain and malt whiskies and finishing in Central American rum casks) to create sweet, spicy and woody character, and bottles at 46% ABV with no added color and no chill filtration to preserve natural nuance. The founders commissioned artisanal copper pot stills—named after the next generation of the family—offer guided tours that earned 'Visitor Attraction of the Year' at Whisky Magazine’s 2021 Icons of Irish Whiskey Awards, and collaborate on seasonal offerings such as a Small Batch Irish Coffee kit." - AFAR
"In March of 2015, Chasko joined brothers Jack and Stephen Teeling's eponymous distillery for their opening debut as the master distiller and blender; it was the first new distillery in Dublin in over 125 years. Coining themselves the 'new generation of Irish whiskey distillers'—and well aware of the spirit’s past downfall—Teeling aims to bring both innovation and independent voices in the industry back to the heart of the country." - Abbe Baker
