Tullamore Dew XO Caribbean Rum Cask Finish / 43% / 0.7l

Until 1954 Tullamore Dew was produced by Daly's Distillery in Tullamore. After its closure, production moved to Power's Distillery, Midleton and Bushmills.

William Grant & Sons bought the rights to the brand in 2010, and four years later the newly built Tullamore DEW distillery was distilling both single malt and single pot still whiskey. Its current production capacity of 1.8 million liters of distillate per year is expected to double in the coming years. Tullamore Dew is the second best-selling Irish whiskey with 12 million bottles per year. The XO Caribbean Rum Cask Finish presented here debuted in the fall of 2017. It is a blend of Irish pot still, malt and grain distillates, finished in Demerara rum barrels.
