Tullamore Dew: el otro irlandés.

History

In the geographical center of the island of Ireland is the town of Tullamore on the banks of the River Shannon. In 1829 the distillery was founded with the same name from the hands of famous distiller Michael Molloy. The location was perfect to be surrounded by excellent pure streams that feed the surrounding barley fields.

But the man who gave birth to this whiskey was Daniel Edmond Williams, who found work in the distillery at fourteen and spent his nights there. She eventually became an expert distiller, was elected as the general manager of the establishment in 1887, as the heir to the firm was not interested in running the business. It was a right decision. Daniel introduced improvements immediately and create and identify the distillery brand with your own initials. Eventually his family became the largest shareholder of the company. The grandson of Daniel, Desmond, later decided it was a good idea to represent the spirit of the seal through the image of the famous “wolf-dogs” of Ireland, which reflect what better understand the people of the island, loyalty, tradition , strength and friendship.

Twentieth Century: How most of the whiskey industry, it underwent a period of “dry law” in the United States, between 1919 and 1933, and a trade war with England in the thirties, which blocked the market and all the commonwealth to irnlandeses whiskeys. The company shrank to their lowest, but did not die. However, the distillery closed in 1959 and production moved to Cork in 1965, leaving the original city in the Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre. This fact, together with the founding of the Irish Distilleries Corporation in the seventies led all Irish whiskeys produced in only two places in County Cork and in Antrim. In 1994 he broke the monopoly of Irish whiskeys from the sale of the firm to the C & C International.
