Description

Coleraine Distillery was established in 1820 when it was converted from an old mill on Newmarket Street. It was one of two Malt Distilleries in Ireland and quickly built up a high reputation, for in 1845 it delivered to the London House of Commons and therefore put "HC" on the labels of its bottles.

The distillery fell into decline and was silent for most of the 1920s. It was bought by the Boyds of Bushmills Distillery in 1933 and distilling continued in 1938 for a short period before World War II and the shortages of barley stopped production again.

We believe this bottle is from this short period, and was likely bottled in the 1940's.
