Dublin Liberties Distillery

The Dead Rabbit

The Dublin Liberties Distillery, as you might be able to tell from the distiller name, is intensely proud of their roots. The Liberties section of Dublin is a famous and storied part of the city with a history too checkered and daring to include here. Everything about the distillery is intricately tied to historical people and places from the Liberties or connecting to Ireland more broadly. Take a tour and you’ll see, trust us. This particular offering is 5 years old and made in collaboration with The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog in New York City. This Irish Whiskey bar is in turn named after the Dead Rabbits, a notorious gang of Irish immigrants in the mid-1800s whose rivalry with the Bowery Boys eventually resulted in riots that lasted for days.

At the beginning of August 2019, some of Scotchology went to Dublin for ten days. The following is a collection of notes and pictures of all the distilleries (and one iconic brewery) found around Dublin we visited, plus a bonus, broken out by location. There were only four operating distilleries as recently as a decade ago, but as of June 2019 there are 25 operating distilleries, with several more planned. In fact, all the distilleries in this post are new since Dublin had not contained an operating distillery in 125 years until Teeling opened their site in 2015.
