Eggnog, Zabaione, and warm drinks with a touch of hard liquor are ideal to cuddle up around the fireplace, while singing Christmas Carols after Christmas Day’s merrymaking and eating.
Tullamore D.E.W. Irish whiskey is the perfect Yuletide treat as it launches its limited edition Celebratory Phoenix Single Batch to commemorate the new Distillery opening. The success has been uproarious and is attested by the fact that this very limited release of 2014 bottles is finished in Virgin Oak and will be available through a selection of exclusive Irish outlets.
Tullamore D.E.W. Celebratory Phoenix Single Batch is the inspiration of Tullamore D.E.W. Global Brand Ambassador, John Quinn who said, “We are delighted to launch Tullamore D.E.W. Celebratory Phoenix Single Batch to mark our new Distillery opening. The Phoenix is a highly appropriate symbol for Tullamore and Tullamore D.E.W.. Our story is built on resilience, optimism and progress; attributes that have led us to the opening of Tullamore Distillery and it is only fitting to commemorate the rising of Tullamore Distillery with an exclusive expression of the Tullamore D.E.W. Phoenix range.”
Indeed, the mythical Phoenix, the symbol of rebirth and regeneration is of huge significance to Tullamore. It is featured on the town’s coat of arms honouring the courageous rebuilding of the town after it was largely destroyed by fire following a devastating hot air balloon accident in 1785. The release of the Tullamore D.E.W. Celebratory Phoenix Single Batch commemorates Tullamore’s resilience, optimism and progress with the return of whiskey production to the town 60 years after the original distillery closed.
‘Tis the season to be jolly and to digest the overdose of Christmas platters an Irish coffee is ideal – naturally using Tullamore D.E.W. Whiskey.
