Tullamore Irish Whiskey

Tullamore D.E.W. is one of Ireland’s most recognisable whiskey brands, celebrated for its smooth, approachable style and distinctive triple blend of grain, malt, and pot still whiskey. Founded in 1829 in the town of Tullamore, County Offaly, the brand has grown from a small local distillery into a global ambassador for Irish whiskey, available in over 100 countries. The “D.E.W.” in its name honours Daniel E. Williams, a former stable boy at the distillery who rose to become its owner and manager, introducing modern innovations and a relentless focus on quality.

From the start, Tullamore D.E.W. distinguished itself by embracing Ireland’s traditional triple distillation process, which produces a lighter, smoother spirit.

This triple blend is a hallmark of the Tullamore D.E.W. flavour profile and is a key reason for its broad appeal among both newcomers and seasoned whiskey drinkers.

In 2014, the brand returned to its roots with the opening of a new state-of-the-art distillery in Tullamore, restoring local production after decades of distillation elsewhere. This modern facility combines advanced technology with traditional methods, allowing Tullamore D.E.W. to oversee every stage of production, from mashing and fermentation to distillation and maturation.

Cask management plays a vital role in the brand’s style. Maturation typically takes place in a mix of ex-bourbon barrels for vanilla and caramel notes and Oloroso sherry casks for dried fruit and spice. Innovative finishes, such as rum or cider casks, have been introduced in recent years to add new dimensions to the blend.

Flavour-wise, Tullamore D.E.W. is known for its approachability and balance. The nose offers light citrus, green apple, and vanilla, while the palate delivers gentle sweet grain, orchard fruit, honey, and a touch of cinnamon spice. The finish is smooth and clean, making it ideal for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails like the Irish Coffee or Whiskey Sour.

Tullamore D.E.W. has also invested heavily in tourism, with its Old Bonded Warehouse Visitor Centre offering immersive experiences, blending workshops, and tastings. This commitment to storytelling and education has helped the brand connect with whiskey lovers worldwide.

Williams’ motto: “Give every man his due.”
