London UK – 10 March 2011 – Last week, at the prestigious Icons of Whisky Awards dinner in London, Tullamore Dew 12 Year Old won for the Best Irish Blended Whiskey.
Chosen from a very competitive shortlist of other whiskey brands, the outstanding win is a true testament to the pride and care we take in producing the very best whiskey in Ireland.
To add to the win, the producers of Tullamore Dew, William Grant & Sons won the 2011 Whisky Distiller of the Year Award.
