Info
The Thomas Street Distillery was an Irish whiskey distillery located in Dublin, Ireland. At its peak, it was Dublin's largest and most productive distillery and with an output of over 2 million gallons per annum, twice that of John Jameson's acclaimed nearby Bow Street distillery, one researcher and author states it may have been the largest whiskey distillery in the world and probably had the highest output in the British Isles. However, it later entered into financial difficulties, and closed in 1926. Although most of the distillery buildings were demolished following its closure, a few were incorporated into the Guinness St. James's Gate Brewery and are still extant.In January 2017, Diageo, makers of Guinness, announced that they would invest €25 million in the construction of a new distillery alongside the Guinness brewery at St. James's Gate, close to the site of the original Thomas Street distillery. Production at the new distillery is planned to start in the first half of 2019. In addition, the original brand is to be resurrected, with a non-chill filtered, 45% ABV premium blended whiskey set to launched under the name "Roe & Co" in March 2017.
