Tullamore Dew
Housed in a splendid old Victorian warehouse of 1897 on the banks of the Grand Canal, Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre celebrates the history of one of Ireland's favourite beverages. It was back in 1829 that production began of Tullamore's most famous export Tullamore Dew. The "Dew" part of the name came from the initials of Daniel Edmond Williams, the man who would later own the distillery and promote the virtues, and the sale, of his superb Irish whiskey and the magnificent liqueur, Irish Mist.
These memorable beverages are no longer produced in Tullamore, but the Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre houses a lively and interactive exhibition where the various working stations of the distillery have been re-created.
A wide variety of models, panels and audio visuals record the history of whiskey production in Tullamore and of the town itself. Like so many towns during the Industrial Revolution, Tullamore's prosperity was fuelled by the arrival of the canal. The Grand Canal is an awe-inspiring feat of 18th
century engineering and linked Tullamore directly to the rich markets of Dublin and from there to markets abroad.
Exhibits recall key events in the town's history such as the arrival of the barracks in 1716, and the balloon fire of 1785. This caused immense damage but allowed Lord Tullamore, a mere 21 years old at the time, to redevelop much of the town. The tour of the Centre concludes with a complimentary glass of Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey or Irish Mist Liqueur thus providing an opportunity to understand why both beverages are so popular amongst the world's connoisseurs.
The shop displays an array of these famous products and associated merchandise which includes our Tullamore Dew van. Some of the edition will go to the Heritage Shop with the balance being sold through our own collectors club. This makes a nice edition to the Tullamore Dew vehicles already produced, but as a promotional vehicle we have coded it in the Bedford range.
