Great Northern Distillery is an Irish whiskey producer based in Dundalk, Ireland, founded in 2014. The distillery is closely associated with John Teeling, widely regarded as the father of the modern Irish whiskey industry, whose vision and experience have shaped the venture from the outset. Located just south of the border in County Louth, Great Northern Distillery is a privately owned Irish company that has established itself as a significant force in the renaissance of Irish whiskey. The distillery operates two facilities in Dundalk — including a grain plant — giving it the capacity to produce both grain and malt whiskey at scale. This makes Great Northern not only a producer of its own expressions but also an important contract distiller, supplying whiskey to a wide range of independent brands and bottlers across Ireland and beyond. The distillery's infrastructure and output have made it a backbone of the modern Irish whiskey boom, quietly powering many labels that have emerged in recent years. Great Northern Distillery has earned a strong reputation within the industry as a reliable and high-capacity producer. Its connection to John Teeling — who previously founded Cooley Distillery and helped revive Irish whiskey on the world stage — lends the operation considerable credibility and legacy.
