Established in Tullamore, County Offaly, by Michael Molloy the distillery eventually passed to his nephew, Bernard Daly who later appointed
Daniel E. Williams as the distillery's General Manager. Under Williams's watchful eye, the distillery expanded and prospered, launching the whiskey bearing his initials (D.E.W.). In 1954 the distillery closed and the brand was sold to John Powers & Son - who transferred the production to the new Midleton distillery in County Cork in the 1970s. In 2010, the brand was purchased by William Grant & Sons who built a new distillery back in Tullamore.
