Phoenix Park Distillery
It is reported, that this location is closed!
Place Categories: Closed Distilleries
The distillery was founded in 1878 as Chapelizod Distillery. Unique about this distillery is that it is was build and owned by a Scottish company, the Distillers’ Company Limited (DCL). Phoenix Park was the smallest of all the distilleries owned by DCL at the time. Due to the fact that this whiskey was distilled for export only, it was never very much known in Ireland. The distillery closed in 1921. Many buildings have survived, including the mill lade, once holding the largest water wheel in the UK. Some parts of the former distillery were remodeled into apartment houses.
