Irish Eyes Smile Because of Irish Whiskey!

One of the fastest growing categories of distilled spirits is Irish whiskey. While one brand dominates the sales totals, Joe Canal's carries many others that will suit your palate. Our featured Irish Whiskey is Tullamore D.E.W. Phoenix.

Tullamore D.E.W. Phoenix is an expression of the great history of the town and a celebration of the people. In 1785, Tullamore witnessed a devastating hot-air balloon accident. The resulting blaze nearly destroyed the town but immeasurably strengthened her people. Since that day, they placed a phoenix in the town’s coat of arms. Driven by their positive spirit, the town’s renaissance in the ensuing decades saw the establishment of the Tullamore distillery in 1829.

This special limited edition is a triple-distilled blend of all three types of Irish whiskey: golden grain, malt and pure pot still whiskey. It is characterized by its high content pot still whiskey finished in old oloroso sherry casks and comes to you at 55% ABV. Tullamore D.E.W. Phoenix is a medium bodied whiskey, with distinctive sherry notes and pleasantly spicy creamy pot still whiskey flavors nicely balanced. Enjoy Tullamore D.E.W. Phoenix with a little water, which will open up its aromas. 

So what's the D.E.W.? It's the initials of Daniel E. Williams, a man certainly made of the rare stuff. His earliest days in the distillery were spent shoveling malted barley; his nights spent sleeping in the hayloft. He was the ultimate self-made man, propelling himself quickly through the ranks. In 1887 he became General Manager and ultimately owner of the distillery. Single-handedly, he began to turn a good whiskey great. Some time later, this accomplished, he proudly marked every bottle from the Tullamore Distillery with the initials D.E.W.
