Apparently the distillery scenes were actually filmed at Westmeath distillery, where the real Kilbeggan whiskey is made and which has a heritage visitor centre. And a suitably liveried olde van. But these scenes look more like a derelict yard where they've found an old van and plonked it in the corner to pretend it's heritage-y. Plate is AV 2700 or similar - possibly AY and possibly some mix of 0, 6, 8, or 9 for the final 2 numbers - nothing found on check sites. If AV 27xx = 1929 Aberdeen plate, AY 27xx was Leicester 1913.
