The Dundalk Distillery was an Irish whiskey distillery that operated in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland between 1708 and 1926.[3] It is thought to have been one of the old registered distilleries in Ireland.[3] Two of the distillery buildings, the grain store and maltings, still exist and now house the County Museum and Dundalk Library.[3]
The distillery was used as a navigation point by seamen due to its two large chimney stacks, one of which was the largest in Ireland when it was built in 1817.[3]
