The 'D.E.W.' in Tullamore D.E.W. comes from the initials of a General Manager at the Tullamore distillery in the later 19th Century, named Daniel E. Williams.
Fruity and biscuity. There are gristy notes with caramel and toffee sweetness and plenty of peels.
Good body with notes of sherried peels and spice, granary toast with butter and honey, grains and vanilla cream.
Quite vegetal and long with notes of caramel and toffee.
For the price you pay, I have no reservations in buying this whisky. Simple, smooth with a light fruity taste. Nice finish. Great value for money!
Experts may disagree, but everyone (the average person) to whom I've introduced to Tullamore Dew says "Wow, that's really good whiskey!", and they eventualy buy a bottle for themselves. Tullamore is smoother than more expensive whiskeys. Best buy for the buck in my opinion. Easy to drink neat or with a few drops of water. Also try "Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey" if you can find it. You won't be dissapointed.
After decades of shunning Irish Whiskey in favour of my native Canadian Rye Whiskey's, I was introduced to Tullamore DEW from a series of Novels of all things. After finding it in my local Liquor Commission and buying a bottle for myself, I will never look back. I have tried a few Irish Whiskey's in the past, but none were able to impress me like Tullamore DEW. This Canadian is a convert for the amazing taste of this whiskey.
There is nothing quite like a good triple-distilled single malt Irish whiskey, of course, I'm Irish, so I may be a tad biased, but ... this stuff is fantastic.
I'm enjoying my first bottle of Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey after comparing it to Jameson's. I'm traditionally a bourbon drinker, but tried Irish whiskey at a gathering last weekend. I find Tullamore Dew to be quite flavorful and very smooth. I like the aftertaste better than Jameson's, which has a much spicer aftertaste. I'm no Irish Whiskey expert, but find this whiskey a pleasant change from my favorite bourbons, which are generally 10 year old, small batch or single barrel bourbons.
