The 16-story Google Docks (formerly Montevetro) on Barrow Street in Dublin’s Docklands stands on the site of a distillery where a whiskey revolution commenced almost 200 years ago. Between 1826 and 1835, the Dock Distillery was leased to Aeneas Coffey (1780-1850), inventor of the game-changing, two-column Coffey Patent Still, which enabled a massive increase in whiskey production.
