The Green Distillery was an Irish whiskey distillery which was established in Cork City, Ireland in 1796.[1] In 1867, the distillery was purchased by the Cork Distilleries Company (CDC), in an amalgamation of five Cork distilleries.[1] Production of whiskey at the distillery likely ceased soon afters its acquisition by the CDC.[1] However, the distillery is known to have remained in use a bonded store by the Cork Distilleries Company for several years thereafter.[2] In the mid-twentieth century, the distillery resumed operations as a gin distillery for a period of time, however, it has since been almost completely demolished.[1]
The distillery was notable for its use of an early continuous distillation apparatus, invented by the distillery's then co-owner, Joseph Shee.[1]
