Tullamore D.E.W. Cider Cask Limited Edition

Sweet, smooth, crisp. Everything you would expect from a classic Irish Whiskey.

Sweet. Mellow, easy drinking

This is one I was really hoping I’d love and while it’s not awful it leaves a lot to be desired. There’s a distinct rubbing alcohol note on the nose which is a little off-putting. I was expecting more of the cider cask to come through. On the palette it’s got the typical Tully flavor with a hint of cider and to my taste just a hair more astringent. I do get a nice crisp cider note on the finish but it’s fleeting at best. The rubbing alcohol note does fade after some time in the glass so I’m curious how the bottle will be after a little oxidation. Not a bottle I’m upset to have picked up but not one I’ll grab again.

nice sweet finish
