Tullamore Dew

Republic of Ireland

Tullamore Dew was founded by Michael Molloy in 1829 in the picturesque town of Tullamore in the heart of Ireland, approximately 50 kilometres west of Dublin. Mr Molloy successfully ran the distillery until his death in 1887 when it was passed to the Daly family. The Daly family did not run the distillery themselves but hired a man named Daniel E Williams to do the job. In addition to eventually becoming the General Manager of the distillery Mr Williams is important since his initials are the source of the ‘Dew’ in Tullamore Dew.

Production at the original distillery was halted in 1954 due to low demand and declining profits. Since 1975 Tullamore Dew is produced at the large facility in Midleton. The brand was bought in 1994 by the C&C Group PLC who are currently owned by the Allied Domestic Ltd.

Tullamore has a large market in Germany and have created a German website to improve their service to their German customers.
