Tullamore Dew Heritage Center

Our leader was great! I was in numerous American distilleries, but I learned a ton about the process here and how it differs from other Irish whiskys! Must be!

My husband and I did the tour of the distillery and loved it! Staff are all very friendly and informative about the process of making their businesses whisky. At the end you also taste 3 of their whiskys. All a good experience, especially if you are a whisky lover!

Really well done tour with a fun, knowledgeable tour guide! The tasting was very informative, she knew how to describe the subtle nuances among the different whiskyskeys we tried. Next time we're back.

Fun. I recommend the MasterClass or other premium experiences. One, you get great attention from Emma or other leaders. Two, you get access to tasting via the regular tour. An incredible experience and break from the ride between Dublin and Galway. When in the branch, I highly recommend to see the silences and restaurant sharing the same building. Give each one his dew.

The Tullamore Dew Heritage Center is located in the Irish town of Tullamore, right on the Grand Canal in the county of Offaly. In the restored original building no whiskey is produced, but you will find a museum, a souvenir shop, a bar and a restaurant. The actual Tullamore distillery, where the whiskey is officially produced, is only 8 km south of the Heritage Center. The Center itself is a former warehouse built in 1897 and is intended to inform visitors about the Whiskey manufacturing process. Until 1959 it was still the original Tullamore distillery before it was closed when Michael Molly founded it in 1829. When Michael Molly died in 1857, his nephew Bernard Daly, who renamed the distillery in B. Daly Distillery, continued. The word DEW is the initials of Daniel E. Williams, the later chief executive who, at the age of 14 (1862, completed his training as a whiskey master in the B. Daly Distillery and in 1887 designed the brand name of the distillery by adding his initials D. E. W. to the name of the brand. Another advantage was, among other things, that in the production and filling of whiskey and Irish **** one could use the waterway (Grand Canal) to transport products from Tullamore such as peat, grain, the coveted limestone and whiskey, easier, faster and cost-effective. Our tour of the museum took place in German, and went about an hour. Each tour takes place at the full hour. To the introduction we saw a video about the history and origin of the Tullamore distillery. Since it was an original film with English subtitles, we got headphones for the German translation. After that, the products (best, malted barley, unmarried barley, corn and plants (Kessel were shown and explained to us. Finally, a whiskey tasting took place. As a souvenir everyone could take his empty drunk whiskey glass. After the tour you could stay in the souvenir shop with browses and buy. Or you could enjoy a little bite in the restaurant or bar. A visit is really recommended here, as besides the simple guided tour and tasting (12€, yet two other different guided tours (25€ and 150€ are offered.
