With just about four days till St. Patrick’s Day, here we are with another short and sweet Irish Whiskey review. Tullamore D.E.W. is a whiskey brand I do enjoy, and I recently sampled their 12-Year Special Reserve so, let’s dive in.

Nose: oak, sherry and light sweetness

Palate: nutty, fruit and chocolate

Finish: spices and light sweetness

ABV: 40%

Cost: $55-$65

This whiskey is matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. The influence of the sherry cask is evident in the aroma, and it lightly imparts a sweetness to the palate. The lower ABV also contributes to its smoothness, making it an easy-to-drink whiskey. It offers a light, smooth, and nutty character with lovely chocolate notes, complemented by a finish of spices and sweetness.

Overall, it was a very tasty dram.Additionally, the price point for this whiskey is very reasonable, making it a fantastic choice for those seeking to try a quality Irish whiskey without breaking the bank. Whether you are new to whiskey or simply looking to explore this brand for the first time, this would be a great option.

Cheers!
