While common in Scotland, cask experimentation is still rare in Ireland.
Not to be mistaken for a flavored whiskey, Tullamore Dew ages this blended whiskey in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks then adds additional maturation in bourbon casks that were also used to age apple cider.

Tasting Notes
"The nose, not surprisingly, is full of baked apples, along with malt grain, honey, and vanilla. It's tart on the palate, showcasing the apple cider as well as cereal grain, malt, oak, and burnt sugar. "
