The wonderful Tullamore D.E.W. has gone and finished its original blend of pot still, malt and grain Irish whiskeys in first fill Caribbean rum casks which previously held Demerara rum. As well as being a taste sensation, the expression pays tribute to the role that Irish immigrants played in the development of rum in the Caribbean back in the 17th century. Some history for you while you sip.
Cherry pie, lots of tropical mango and banana alongside buttery caramel, with sweet malt and rum spice.
Lemon curd, caramelised pineapple and brown sugar, with oak spice and lots of dried fruit.
Chewy orange sweeties, ripe banana drizzled with runny caramel, with a prickle of aromatic spice appearing on the finish.

After having Teeling rum cask Irish whiskey I was super concerned as to how this Tullamore variant would drink.... However the standard Tullamore is so underrated and is a lovely dram for the price so I gave this a go. It is simply lovely, smooth, fruity, sugar cookie, butterscotch, more fruit and quite frankly a very good layered drink.
