History
Ireland was once the world's greatest whiskey producing nation, exporting the drink all over the world. One of the most famous labels still popular world-over is Tullamore Dew.
The origins of Tullamore Dew - ‘the legendary Irish whiskey’ - can be traced back to 1829 when the Tullamore Distillery was founded in Tullamore, County Offaly by Michael Molloy.
Tullamore - the name derives from Tulach Mhór meaning ‘big hill’ - is in the heart of Ireland’s finest grain growing region, a rich agricultural area in the centre of Ireland, providing both the fine barley and pure water essential to the creation of good whiskey.
The distillery and the town prospered throughout the 19th century. The Grand Canal, that connects Tullamore with Dublin, was the main thoroughfare through the town and vitally important in bringing goods and materials to the town and distributing the whiskey to wider markets.
