Dublin, Ireland, 14th May 2025 – Teeling Whiskey Distillery, Dublin’s first new distillery in more than 125 years, has welcomed its 1,000,000th visitor. The milestone cements its position as a standout must-visit destination for global whiskey enthusiasts and curious visitors to Dublin alike.
Since opening in 2015, the award-winning distillery has redefined the Irish whiskey experience through its immersive and authentic real distillery visitor attraction. Set in the heart of the historic Liberties, it marked the return of whiskey-making to a district once known as the beating heart of Ireland’s distilling scene. Founded by the Teeling family, whose roots in whiskey date back to 1782, the distillery bridges past and present — reviving Dublin’s whiskey heritage with a distinctly modern edge.
Jack Teeling, Founder and Managing Director of Teeling Whiskey, said:
“We are incredibly proud to have reached this significant milestone. Welcoming 1,000,000 visitors to our distillery is a testament to the global appeal of Teeling Whiskey and the unique, authentic Irish whiskey experience we offer. Our visitors don’t just learn about whiskey – they step into the heart of a real operational distillery and experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of real Irish whiskey being crafted in front of them.”
Visitors from all over the world have passed through the distillery’s doors. Teeling has worked closely with Fáilte Ireland and Dublin City Council to help position the Liberties as a key cultural quarter and support sustainable tourism growth in the area. The site also plays an active role in local regeneration, contributing to employment and drawing footfall to one of Dublin’s most characterful neighbourhoods.
Teeling Whiskey Distillery has earned global recognition, including being named Ireland’s Leading Distillery Tour at the World Travel Awards. Guests can enjoy guided tours, curated tastings, cocktail masterclasses, and access to exclusive whiskeys only available at the distillery.
The milestone comes ahead of Teeling’s 10th anniversary in 2025, with special releases and new visitor experiences in the pipeline.
