The Distillery Experience is now open at the Tullamore DEW Distillery on the Tullamore bypass.

The former Tullamore D.E.W. Visitor Centre at Bury Quay closed in 2020 with the Coronavirus being blamed. The company also said it wanted to create a centrepiece visitor experience at their distillery on the Tullamore bypass. A spokesperson said that “To date, William Grant & Sons has invested over €100m in the state-of-the-art Tullamore Distillery, which employs over 90 people.’’

Meanwhile it has been announced that golfer Shane Lowry and entrepreneur Alan Clancy are to open a live music venue, cafe and gastropub in the former Tullamore D.E.W. visitor centre on Bury Quay in Tullamore.
