Did you know?

St Patrick’s Tower was originally built in 1757 for the Roe’s Distillery, which became one of the largest distilleries in the world, processing 1,500 barrels of barley daily.

It produced more than two million gallons of whiskey annually – twice that of Jameson across the river Liffey on Bow Street.
