Midleton Distillery invest in distilling pots to increase capacity
A €10 million investment in distilling pots at Midleton Distillery will help increase production capacity by over 30%.
Three new copper pot stills, which were delivered to the distillery last night, will be installed in a project which is expected to be completed by June.
The project will support 60 jobs in Midleton during the construction phase and the distillery currently employs 150 people.
Irish Whiskey is the fastest growing premium spirit globally and Irish Distillers has invested heavily to drive this growth.
Speaking to RedFM News General Manager at Midleton Distillery Paul Wickham outlined the timeline of this latest project:
