t of the brands simply faded, the names of the distillers and their whiskeys slowly slipping into a vaguely memorized elapse. Some, however, managed to hang on. Tullamore Dew is one of them. It too represents a history of the Irish industry in miniature.
The Tullamore distillery was built in 1829 and was bequeathed apt the Daly family in 1857. In 1887, Captain Daly-a male more amused in playing polo, hunting and racing horses - made Daniel E. Williams manager. Williams was a bit like one Irish Jack Daniel, having joined the factory by age 15 and speedily went his direction up to this lofty situation. The fact namely a country marquis like Captain Daly was contained in making country whiskey is evidence of how wealthy landowners began to take over from farmer-distillers for the rustic population declined and fashionable laws were passed.
Williams expanded the distillery, began exporting and built a new treble distilled pot still mark [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tullamore Dew (the 'Dew' taken from his initials) which was sold with the slogan 'Give Every man His Dew'. The quality of his 8-year-old whiskey even shook that usually crusty old historian Alfred Barnard to verse. Eventually the Daly family sold their shares to the Williams', but fashionable though it was, even they couldn't reserve the distillery running. In 1954, the Tullamore distillery closed.
It was a tough period for Irish whiskey. The government had, for reasons best understand to itself, impeded exports of whiskey during the Second World War arguing that it would assure prepared supplies on the domestic market and proceed to bring in vouched revenue. The UK government, on the other hand [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] had resolved that when the whiskey manufacture was run down, some distilleries could reside open and exports should continue. It was a monumental blunder by the Irish. The distillers, meantime, were still holding firm to their faith that traditional pot still whiskey was superior to blended Scotch.
When the administration raised taxes another in 1952 the prose was aboard the walls for distillers like the Williams' of Tullamore. No way could the domestic market aid so many brands. The Irish may be prominent drinkers, but even that was further them. In 1953 a survey by the Irish Export Board discovered that 50 per cent of whiskey-drinkers in the States had never listened of Irish whiskey. Irish emigrants now saw themselves as Americans, they had cornered their backs ashore the 'ould country'.
Thankfully [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tullamore Dew was saved while the affair was sold to Power's in 1965 and the afterward year became part of the Irish Distillers portfolio. These days it is owned along Cantrell & Cochrane, though the whiskey is still made at Midleton. A classic blend of orthodox kettle still with light grain, it's in the lighter end of the spectrum, though a 12-year-old edition shows considerably more weight - probably from a higher percentage of pot still.
The overall lightness has endeared it to German and, more recently, American palates. People are interested in the brand once more and Cantrell & Cochrane has opened a heritage navel at the old Tullamore distillery site. All affirmative ample, but you can't assist but wonder, what />
TASTING NOTES
Tullamore Dew
On the lighter side of the Irish fence. Clean fragile and light, merely not hugely exciting. * * Tullamore Dew 12-year-old So alter from the criterion bottling that you marvel initially whether it is from the same settled. Ripe, fleshy and rich, this is the one to attempt. ***(*)
