Titanic Distillers has been granted a licence and is now pouring at the distillery, which will produce single malt whiskey.
Titanic Distillers said whiskey from the site could be a new export for Northern Ireland An £8 million conversion on the site of the Thompson Dock and Pumphouse in Titanic Quarter now facilitates the city’s first working whiskey distillery in nearly 90 years.
Head distiller Damien Rafferty said whiskey from the site could be a new export for Northern Ireland. “But to finally begin production on site is an incredible feeling and a huge milestone, not just for us but for the city of Belfast.“A lot of time, hard work and investment has gone into this amazing project to date, but this week marks the culmination of all that – with the distillery and visitor attraction now both fully operational.”
“Whiskey has played an important part in the history of our city but there hasn’t been a working distillery here since the 1930s, so, as a Belfast boy, it really means a lot to me to revive this great distilling tradition – and help bring Belfast back to the forefront of Irish whiskey production. “With our Titanic Distillers Premium Irish Whiskey now produced on this most historic of sites, we hope to do so again.”
Stephen Symington, also a director at Titanic Distillers, said the project was about the city’s history as well as the future potential of Irish whiskey.
