History

  • Great Northern Distillery (est. 1986) is located in Dundalk, Co. Louth, Ireland. Since its founding, the company has been part of Ireland's whiskey landscape and the production of Irish whiskey through its distillation facilities.
  • As part of the broader Irish whiskey revival, the text notes that Irish whiskey underwent a major revitalization in the 1980s with John Teeling and the establishment of the Cooley Distillery, which sets the stage for modern Irish whiskey production, of which Great Northern Distillery is a part.
