Joining Conall this morning was Master Distiller at The Dublin Liberties Distillery, Darryl McNally. The new craft distillery will open in October creating up to 20 jobs. The announcement was made as three enormous three tonne copper stills arrived at the distillery over the weekend, following a 1,515km journey from Germany to Dublin. The mammoth stills were craned across the Dublin Liberties’ skyline and carefully lowered into the grounds of the distillery to be assembled on site.

"Opening later this year, our Distillery will showcase the making of our whiskeys along with the history and heritage of The Liberties area."

The distillery will focus on producing a range of whiskies, including those catering for the growing global demand for premium and super-premium spirits.  Global consumption of super-premium Irish whiskey has increased by more than 12% annually over the last five years. Upon completion in October, production of all the company’s whiskey brands including The Dubliner Irish Whiskey, The Dublin Liberties and The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey will move to The Dublin Liberties Distillery. The Dubliner Irish Whiskey is the one of the fastest growing Irish whiskies globally, with the range of products in The Dublin Liberties and The Dubliner Irish Whiskey portfolios selling in more than 30 countries, worldwide.
