Whiskey could return to midlands

TULLAMORE Dew Whiskey could be returning home after over half a century, as William Grant & Sons explore the possibility of building a new distillery in the town.

Representatives of William Grant & Sons have met with Offaly County Council officials to explore possible locations for a distillery in Tullamore, Co Offaly.

Tullamore Dew is the world’s second-largest and fastest-growing Irish whiskey, currently selling over 650,000 cases (8.35 million 70cl bottles).
