'The partnership with Aer Lingus is the second of its kind for Tullamore D.E.W. which is also available for purchase on Travel Services Airline, Czech Republic’s largest airline,' the owners and distributors of the premium whiskey brand said in a statement.
Speaking on the partnership, recently-appointed Chin Ru Foo, Global Brand Director, Tullamore D.E.W. said: “We are excited to bring our much-loved Irish whiskey to the skies, via this exciting new partnership. The deal underpins our sustained commitment to Ireland through innovation, partnerships and distribution.”
