Bishop's Water Distillery

[2] The distillery's whiskey, Barnard noted, was highly appreciated locally, and in the British cities where it was exported.

Some mementos can still be found in locals pubs, while a stone archway known to have been extant in 1903 and now bearing the inscription "Casa Rio", possibly in reference to the location of a Pierce ironworks office in Buenos Aires,[7][8][9] marks the entrance to the site where the distillery once stood, on Distillery Road.

[3][1] In 1830, one of the partners, Maurice Harvey, was accidentally killed at the distillery by an excise man who was taking aim at some birds flying overhead.

Nicholas Devereux's daughter, Mary Anne Therese was also deeply involving in the distilling industry.

[4] According to Alfred Barnard, the British journalist who visited Bishop's Water in the 1880s, the distillery produced triple-distilled "old pot still whiskey", which was sold locally in Ireland, and also exported to London, Liverpool, and Bristol.
