Tullamore D.E.W. is the world’s second largest Irish whiskey brand with global sales of more than one million (9L) cases annually. 

It’s the blend of all three types of triple distilled whiskey, and, in particular, the inclusion of single malt, that gives Tullamore D.E.W. more complexity and a unique smoothness, setting it apart from all others as an Irish whiskey of true character. 

The origins of Tullamore D.E.W. whiskey can be traced back to 1829 when the distillery was founded in Tullamore, County Offaly.

Daniel E. Williams, the youngest employee of Tullamore D.E.W. worked his way up from the age of fourteen, at the lowest rungs of the distillery to become the outright owner, by the age of twenty-five. creating a whiskey so distinctive and character-filled, it could only be stamped with his initials: D.E.W. Legendary.
