Thomond Gate Distillery stood beside the River Shannon from 1809 until 1919, forming an important part of Limerick’s industrial and distilling heritage. During the nineteenth century, the complex operated three copper pot stills and produced traditional Irish whiskey under several owners, including Stein Brown & Co. and Archibald Walker’s Limerick Distillery. These reconstructed scenes imagine the surrounding streets, workers, carts, buildings and towering chimneys during the distillery’s active years. Although production eventually ceased, the Thomond Gate name has been revived through an independent Limerick whiskey brand dedicated to preserving the memory and traditions of the original enterprise for future generations.
