[2] Now long gone, according to local folklore, the distillery or the brand were sold to Scottish distillers in the 1800s.
[1] If true, this would mark an interesting change of fortunes in the distilling industries of the two countries, as similarly a named, more enduring White Horse whiskey brand was established in Scotland in 1861.
[3] Carr offered the "large and extensive distillery" together with about 50 acres of land for lease in 1794, remarking that the tenant could be "accommodated with all necessary utensils - 1,000 gallons still, worm, boiler etc.
[4] However, Carr does not seem to have found a long-term tenant, as in 1797, a subsequent advert appeared in a Dublin newspaper under his name requesting the services of a distiller.
[5][6] Carr's distillery does not seem to have been a very successful venture; suffering a fire in 1805, and having 12,000 gallons of whiskey stock seized and sold for non-seizure of duties the following year, it eventually fell bankrupt in 1811, with Carr emigrating to Canada.
