Titanic Distillers at Thompson Dock – Stills #2

Belfast’s newest tourist attraction, and the city’s first working whiskey distillery in almost 90 years, is to open its doors to the public on Friday April 28, 2023. Based in the historic Titanic Pumphouse, visitors will have an opportunity to view the distillery’s three new Forsyth’s stills which are situated on a mezzanine floor, overlooking the original Gwynne pumping engines which are deep in the building’s pump-well. All of the original pump equipment and associated internal historic features of the building have been retained and are available to view as part of the associated visitor tours, while the exterior includes a new food and beverage area. A listed building in the heart of Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, the Pumphouse, and neighbouring Thompson Dry Dock, first opened in 1911 to service and accommodate the massive White Star transatlantic liners Olympic and Titanic. Four guided tours of the distillery and dry dock are now available to book at www.titanicdistillers.com with prices starting at just £10.
