Tullamore Dew Whiskey Distillery is just 30 minutes drive from Ardmore House Kinnitty. From Summer 2021 the distillery in Tullamore is planned to become the new home of Tullamore D.E.W. visitor experience and will host all future brand and whiskey tours.
The original distillery was located on the banks of the canal in the centre of Tullamore town. The first production of the whiskey now known as “Tullamore Dew” was in 1829. The name came from the initials of the man who later owned the distillery Daniel Edmond Williams.

Inside the walls of this 19th century bonded warehouse, visit the Tullamore Dew Visitor Centre, take a guided tour which blends audiovisual and your senses of sight, smell, and taste to understand the passion behind making a glass of Tullamore D.E.W. Irish whiskey.
It’s no coincidence that the old distillery was located on the banks of the majestic Grand Canal that stretched through the heart of Ireland, from Dublin to the Shannon basin. This played a significant role in the distribution of the whiskey. The distillery had its own canal boat – 55B. Drawn by horses, it would take seven days to complete a round trip journey to and from Dublin. From Dublin Port the whiskey was shipped around the world.
During the great freeze of 1942, the canal froze over, which delighted the population of Tullamore. One intrepid local by the name of “Egan” was wagered to skate the length of the canal to Dublin, a challenge he duly accepted and returned to collect his prize.

First of all, Chris our hostess was awesome!

I highly recommend the B&B! We were there for 3 nights and had a wonderful visit.
Chris is... read more no stranger to the adventures that surround Kinnity and filled us in on what was available . From horse riding to walking trails through the Sleeve Bloom mountains there is also a Bike trail with different levels to suit all ages and fitness levels. We were able to hire bikes right from the house . All of this and much more is so well organised that we were all at ease from the get go .
The lady of the house is a fantastic cook and I highly recommended her Homemade Brown bread !

This is a perfect location to go hiking, biking and drives around the mountains. Birr is just a short 15 min drive away. I'd highly recommend the Riverside restaurant for dinner.

Thank you, Chris!
Christina is happy to offer suggestions of activities and sights around the area as well - including out of ordinary places to see and explore.
We give 5 stars to this lovely accommodation and would gladly return.
For sure, everything was perfect.
A highlight was tea and scones served on the lawn on arrival and a warm welcome from Chris. Home-cooked breakfast was delicious especially the homemade brown bread - all much better than mass-produced hotel fare.
Probably the best B&B we've stayed in so we will definitely be back, hopefully for longer next time..
