News: Digital Repository Of Ireland To Archive Irish Distillers History [Business Plus]
“Whiskey maker Irish Distillers has become the first Irish commercial company to partner with Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI), the national body that digitises data relating to humanities, cultural heritage, and social sciences.
Based in Midleton, Co. Cork, the archive includes records dating back to the 18th century created by John Jameson & Son, John Power & Son and the Cork Distilleries Company before the companies merged to form Irish Distillers in 1966.
The distiller said archive items span minute books documenting the workings of Irish Distillers’ distilleries and the companies that ran them, handwritten ledgers containing financial records, some dating from the late 1700s, as well as more recent commercial records, historic mashbills, and labels from all over the world which show the global reach of Irish whiskey over 100 years ago.”
