Prize 3 – 3 Bottles Of Tullamore Dew
Winner 1 – Ann-Marie Scarry
Winner 2 – Chris Samben
Winner 3 – Ciaran MaryRose J
Prize includes: 1 Bottle of Tullamore Dew – 3 different Premium Subscribers will be selected to each receive 1 bottle
Tullamore D.E.W. is the original triple blend Irish whiskey; by combining three spirits, the blend gives us three dimensions of flavour to explore; malt whiskey gives us fruit, pot still whiskey gives us spice, and grain whiskey gives us sweet. These three spirits come together to provide us with a balance of flavour like no other in the category.
Our award-winning range includes Tullamore D.E.W. Original, Tullamore D.E.W. XO Caribbean Rum Cask Finish, Tullamore D.E.W. 12-year Old Special Reserve, Tullamore D.E.W. 14 Year Old Single Malt, Tullamore D.E.W. 18 Year Old Single Malt and Tullamore D.E.W. Honey (in selected markets).
The whiskey’s name is derived from the town where it’s made and from the initials of its founding father Daniel Edmund Williams who became the business owner in the 1890s and inspired the launch of world-famous Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey.
Just outside the town itself lies the Tullamore D.E.W. distillery – where the real magic happens. The distillery team is made of whiskey experts and passionate locals committed to putting in the work, supporting one another and making a top-notch whiskey to share with the world. It’s here that small-town values meet world-class innovation. Among the recent inventive offerings from the distillery is Tullamore D.E.W. Honey – a super-premium whiskey infused with honey to add remarkable smoothness to a classic and is already winning multiple awards. The space has all the fixings of a state-of-the-art distillery, but with some unique additions to give it that small-town soul. For example, The Tully Warehouse Snug, a hidden bar designed like a cosy Irish pub, is nestled amidst thousands of whiskey casks stacked 20 feet tall. To plan a visit, click here.
