Dunville & Co

Dunville & Co. was a tea and spirits merchant company, based in Belfast, County Antrim. The company initially gained success as a Northern Irish whiskey blender, but later produced and marketed its own whiskey, having constructed its own distillery. The company was founded by John Dumvill who joined William Napier of Napier & Co. When John Dunvill bought William Napper out he changed the spelling of Dunvill to Dunville and in 1825 the company name became Dunville & Co. In 1837, Dunville began producing its most popular whisky Dunville's VR.
