The History of Cork's North Mall Distillery
The story of distilling is of particular interest today, but was no less so from the outset of Wise's Distillery. This book makes extensive use of the observations of prominent distillers from the nineteenth century to relate the difficulties of running a business beset by regulatory, as well as economic, pitfalls.
The book narrates the story of three generations of the Wise family as they became Cork-based merchant princes. It is also the story of their North Mall distillery, the then largest in Cork city, which even rivalled the great distilling houses of Dublin.
