Resurrection

With a new distillery being buit in Tullamore it brought a question to mind:


If you could re-open any closed Irish distillery which one would it be -- and why?

[JohnM]

Powers, for me.

[Luke Gough]

William Jameson.

[Fionnán]

Monasterevan. young double distilled pure pot still with a distinctly "fat and creamy" mouthfeel? Yes please!

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

I like to see Andrew Jameson's in Enniscorthy back. It would make an interesting tasting if the 3 Jameson's were in production again.

[DavidH]

I'll take any distillery, new or old, that only uses Irish grain and malts its own barley. It would be nice to have one distillery like that in Ireland.

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Persse's Nun's Island Distillery in Galway, another well regarded distiller of pot still in it's day. But mainly for the fact that I'd like to have a distillery in my locality too

That was my reason too for wanting Andrew Jameson's Fairfields Distillery to reopen. It's only a few miles away from me.

If I were to go on taste I'd pick Bow St.

I like Fionnan's idea of Monasterevan, that description of the whisky has had me on the lookout eversince.

Nun's island would be very nice too.

In the end I'd go for something in Ulster. Maybe Old Comber, or Dunville's, or one of the Londonderry distilleries, say Waterside. I think at the end of it all I'd go with Dunville's, no need for the patent stills though.

um, joel's interest made me whimsically type monasterevan whiskey into google, which corrected it to the town's more current spelling, and the following came up...

anyone want to explain to me why a certain John Teeling has bee the director of "Monasterevin distillery ltd" since september 2012...?

(Before anyone gets too excited, he's also director of Inishowen distilleries etc so it may just be a sign of a likely monasterevin or cassidy's brand on the horizon but who knows...)

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Well he may invest in a few Dsitilleries after he's cashed in on his latest discovery ..
