Brown Forman, the makers of Jack Daniels have agreed to invest €44min a new distillery and visitors experience after buying all shares in the Slane Castle Irish Whiskey Brand.

Chris Caldwell from PastieBap.com commented “this is great news for me because JD is my favourite whiskey but also great for the economy or something I’m sure”  It also means that rock stars such as Slane Castle’s most recent visitors Foo Fighters have a much shorter distance to go for their favourite whiskey tipple.

The distillery will open in 2016 with new whiskeys due in 2017.
