The Tullamore Distillery is an Irish whiskey distillery located in Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland, established in 2014 and owned by William Grant & Sons. It is the first new distillery to have been constructed on a greenfield site in Ireland in over 100 years, and the first to operate in Tullamore since 1954.[1]
Built at a cost of €35 million[1], construction of the distillery is proceeding on a phased basis.[2] When first constructed, the distillery initially had the capacity to produce up to 1.8 million litres of pot still and malt whiskey per annum using four pot stills.[3] However, provision has been made for the installation of a further two pot stills in the distillery, which would double this capacity to 3.6 million litres per annum.[3] Following an additional €25 million investment, a grain distillery and bottling plant were added in 2017.[4] The installation of a grain distillery means that the distillery can now produce all three components (pot still, malt, and grain whiskey) of its Tullamore D.E.W. blended whiskey on-site.[4]
