Cork Distilleries Company was an Irish whiskey distilling company. It was formed in 1867, when four Cork distilleries, Daly's, the Green, North Mall, the Watercourse were amalgamated under one company to form the Cork Distilleries Company.[1] In 1868, these were joined by another Cork distillery, James Murphy's Midleton Distillery.[1] The company existed until 1966, when the Cork Distilleries Company merged with two other Irish distillers, John Powers & Son and John Jameson & Son, to form Irish Distillers.[2]
The company produced Paddy Whiskey, and Cork Dry Gin among other products.
