Hi there, anyone heading down to Tullamore for the reopening?

When is the event on? Haven't seen anything about it to be honest! J.

It opened today, didn't make it in the end...

I was hoping to make it too but had to go into work earlier than scheduled.
If it's open tomorrow I may go.

Got to drop into them last Friday - and it has changed! Much more modern inside with more windows, brightness and the ground floor is all on one level (still have to say I did like the old nook and crannies and character but things do change) - still very unsure about the large window on the side of the building as you approach it from the east, suppose it is there to highlight a potstill and give light to that floor - but still It looks out of place with the building for me.

"Ground floor highlight was having a small one in the Snug! "

All the tours are now fully guided with many audio visual pieces – very nicely interweaved to keep the tour flowing and interesting along the way.

Of course it all finished with a tasting of 3 whiskeys (standard, the 12 & the single malt) in an impressive tasting area.

In addition to the building and experience changes, a new whiskey is available exclusively from the visitors centre,

Tullamore Dew Warehouse Release is a NAS sherry finished whiskey, bottled at 46%, costing approximately €50.
From initial tasting it does seem to be along the lines of the Black and on bringing it to a small tasting on Sunday left me with an empty bottle so it seemed to be well received there too!!
