Among the bottlings produced by the Irish brand, Tullamore D.E.W. The Legendary is undoubtedly the most popular. The three letters D.E.W. stand for Daniel E. Williams, the General Manager of the late 19th-century distillery. Like most of the Irish whiskeys, this Tullamore is produced through a triple distillation. The Legendary is aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.
