In the past, distilleries produced advertising material with their distillery, brand and drinks names on mirrors, signs, etc. These were given out to pubs who sold their products. Some of these advertisements still adorn the walls of pubs to this day. They have survived the ups and downs of the whiskey industry and are a nostalgic reminder of the old good times and the often forgotten brands and distilleries of old.
Today’s pick is a lovely old metal sign from Tullamore Distillery. Tullamore D.E.W. is IrishWhiskey Distillery from  Tullamore, County Offaly and was in 1829 is introduced. Today is part of William Grant & Sons Group.
