Barnard reserved particular praise for some of the eight-year old whiskey which he tasted on his visit. The whiskey he noted, was " Old Pot Still" and "sold all over Ireland, but principally in Dublin, whilst a large quantity goes to Liverpool, London, and Australia".
In 1886, the distillery was visited by Alfred Barnard, a British historian who remarked that it had been significantly modernised and expanded by Daly since he had inherited it, with the standard of whiskey produced there being similar to that produced by the noted Dublin houses of the time. When Anthony died, he bequeathed the distillery to his nephew Bernard Daly, one of the five nephews who had originally inherited it in 1846.
Subsequently, the distillery was sold by the Court of Chancery to Molloy's brother Anthony for £2,700. In 1846, Molloy died unmarried, leaving the distillery and £15,000 to his five nephews. In the 1830s, Molloy expanded the distilling operation, purchasing an adjoining mill on Patrick Street, and by 1832, the distillery had an output of over 20,000 gallons per annum. At the time, Molloy's family, well known merchants in the town, also ran a grocery and wine merchants business on Bridge Street. One of the new investors was Michael Molloy, who in 1829, established a new distillery on the site of Joseph Flanagan's previous operation on Bridge Street, which had operated from at least 1784 to the early 1800s. In 1823, excise regulations were significantly reformed, leading to renewed investment in distilling. However, due to the effects of a change in excise duties in 1779, the number of registered distilleries in operation decreased significantly, so that by 1818 only two registered distilleries remained in operation in the entire county, both in the town of Birr. Those in Tullamore were run by a George Hamilton, and a Joseph Flanagan. In the 1780s, there were over thirty registered distilleries in operation in County Offaly, then called King's County, with two operating in Tullamore.

In 2012, a whiskey museum, the Tullamore Dew Visitor Centre, opened in a restored former bonded warehouse belonging to the old distillery on Bury Quay. The new Tullamore Distillery opened in 2014, bringing production of the whiskey back to Tullamore following a break of sixty years.
In 2010, the brand was purchased by William Grant & Sons, who invested €35 million in the construction of a new distillery in Tullamore. The Tullamore Dew brand was later sold to John Powers & Co., now part of Irish Distillers, with production transferred to the Midleton Distillery. The original home of Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey, the distillery closed in 1954, having endured financial difficulties for many years, like many Irish whiskey distilleries of the early 20th century.
