Tasting Notes

About:

A classic Irish staple for most people across the world. Tullamore DEW is such a famous Irish whiskey, a soft, sweet style that is very welcoming – it also has links to creating the Irish Coffee cocktail, too!
Appearance:
Gold
Nose:
Sweet vanilla and grassy grain whiskies. Cinnamon, nutmeg, milk chocolate and honey.
Palate:
Barley grist, honey, vanilla, more nutmeg, coconut and more honey.
Finish:
Gentle heat and sweet grain whisky coming through. You get more hoeny, vanilla and coconut.
Comments:
This is a perfectly fine house whiskey. It’s inexpensive and very welcoming on the palate. It isn’t really meant to do more than that, and it’s very good at it.
