The Dead Rabbit

The Dublin Liberties Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Ireland, located in the heart of Dublin, in an area that has long been considered a place of underground gambling houses, brothels, and bars. This area was hidden in the shadow of the city cathedrals and could only be accessed through a single arch with an oak devil on it. Locally, this place was simply called "hell." Today, The Dublin Liberties Distillery is part of the Quintessential Brands company. In addition to it, the group includes such enterprises as G&J Greenall, Alize, Essential Drinks. The Dakin family, who founded the distillery, had close friendly and working relations with the Greenall family. In 1870, the distillery came under the management of the Greenall family, and the name was changed to G & J Greenall, which became synonymous with quality gin. The distillery remained in the hands of the Greenall family, passing from one generation to another. By 1960, due to the increasing popularity of gin, production was moved to a large building opposite the Greenall brewery. In the following decades, the company experienced impressive growth, including the launch of Vladivar vodka in 1971. Today, the international group Quintessential Brands has a solid portfolio with a wide range of spirits and liqueurs.
