Tullamore Dew
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tullamore Dew is a brand of Irish whiskey. It was first distilled in 1829 in the small town of Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland, but is now produced by Irish Distillers Ltd. in Midleton, County Cork, and marketed by Cantrell & Cochrane. The name derives from the initials of an early owner, Daniel E Williams - D.E.W. His home address was Dew Park and after his death the drink Irish Mist was founded by the same companies.
[edit] Trivia
Tullamore Dew is mentioned in the song 'Time to switch to Whisk(e)y' by Corb Lund as a middle ground between Jameson, which was taboo to serve to an Orangeman, and Bushmills which was taboo to serve to an Irish Catholic.
It is also mentioned in the song Black Upon Tan by David Wilkie and Cowboy Celtic.
