Where is Tullamore Dew made today?
Tullamore was one of the many distilleries that was affected by a general decline in Irish whiskey sales worldwide that started with American Prohibition in 1919, then worsened during a trade war with England in the 1930s and was finally hit by the consequences of World War II The distillery was eventually closed in 1963 when the brand was sold to Powers and production was moved to a larger distillery near Cork in the south – where it is made today to our own specification. This is quite normal in Ireland: most of the well-known Irish whiskeys are made in just two distilleries, each of which produces many different blends.
