John Quinn: Tullamore Legend & Irish Whiskey Icon

John Quinn serves as global brand ambassador for Tullamore
D.E.W., one of the most recognized brands in Irish whiskey, a
company he has played a role in growing since his early days with
Irish Distillers. In 2016, John was named Whiskey Brand
Ambassador of the year by Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky
Awards, and in December 2018 he was appointed as Vice Chairman of
the Irish Whiskey Association.


In 2019, John became the first Irish whiskey global ambassador to
be inducted into the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame. He is a legend
of Irish whiskey and the hundreds of brand ambassadors that
preach the Irish whiskey gospel around the world stand on his
shoulders. He was there as Irish whiskey battled for survival.
He’s there today in the midst of growth that could never have
been imagined in the 1970s. We can all learn from his perspective
and experience.


I hope you enjoy our chat. A kinder, more genuine, passionate,
knowledgeable gentleman you won’t find in the world of whiskey.
