Tullamore Distillery, County Offaly (est. 2014) – opened in September 2014, returning production of Tullamore D.E.W. to Tullamore after a break of sixty years. The distillery has a capacity of 1.5million cases per year, and is owned by William Grant & Sons. [74] [75] Unlike traditional pot stills, which were operated in a batch manner, Coffey stills could be operated continuously. This made them cheaper to operate, as they required less fuel, and more efficient to run, producing a continuous, rapid output of spirit. In addition, because technically, continuous distillation entails the conduct of a series of distillation runs in sequence internally within a self-contained unit rather than the conduct of a single distillation within a pot still, Coffey stills were capable of producing a far higher strength output than pot stills. However, this advantage also came with a downside. As a consequence of increasing the alcohol concentration in the product, Coffey stills removed some of the other volatile components responsible for flavour. [18] As a result, their use proved extremely controversial when first introduced.

One of the things I like most about Paddy is that it has a taste that is fairly inoffensive to novice whiskey sippers, which makes it a go-to for any occasion that warrants a bring-a-bottle-buzz.Tipperary Distillery, County Tipperary (est. 2020) – production of their own distillate began in November 2020 after having bottled sourced spirit since 2016.
