The Crolly Doll factory was dormant for almost 25 years, but restoration began in 2018.
Today the factory, originally built in 1901 to manufacture carpets, is a whiskey distillery.
Joe Devenney, Conor McMenamin and Kieran Davis are the sponsors behind this project. Since they share a common interest in whiskey and were watching the resurgence of Irish whiskey on a global scale, they wanted to be part of history.
The last licensed whiskey distillery was registered to Willian Leathem of Bohillion, Burt, Co. Donegal in the early 1840s.
