In 1966 The Cork Distillers Company amalgamated with their city rivals John Jameson & Son and John Power & Son together they formed the Irish Distillers Group.
The City distilleries were hemmed in with little room for expansion just expensive rebuilding was the only option. So the newly formed company decided that a new all-purpose distillery would be built at Midleton that would allow for future expansion.
Midleton Irish Whiskey Distillery History 1975...onwards
In 1975 production at the Old Midleton Distillery was moved to the New Midleton Distillery built right next to the original one.
The New Midleton Distillery has a high production capacity. Using 13 stills that are operated three at a time in different combinations to produce the various whiskeys.
The Distillery produces whiskey for four different brands; Jameson, Paddy, Powers Gold Label and Midleton. The distillery also produces a significant volume of grain whisky.
The annual production capacity at the New Midleton Distillery is 19 million litres.
The beautiful Old Midleton Distillery currently serves as a visitor centre where the history of Irish whiskey may be studied.
Greenspot Irish Whiskey
It was once the wide spread practise in Ireland for wine merchants to fill their own casks with the spirit from their local distilleries and sell it under their own brand name.

The current Green Spot is made entirely from seven and eight year old Midleton pot still, a healthy 25% coming from sherry cask, which is quite evident in its aroma and taste.
