Do you have a favourite blended whiskey? Tullamore Dew is a blend of triple distilled single malt, grain and pot still whiskies that are aged in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask barrels.
The nose is light and refreshing. Initially I smell crisp green apples and honey with a dash of sea spray. Faint wood shavings, clove and nutmeg waft in over time.
The flavour profile is quite mild with a thin mouthfeel. Soft shortbread sweetness quickly makes way for spices like black pepper and cinnamon to make a (subdued) appearance. The finish is fairly quick and lightly drying with tannic notes.
I'd love to try a higher ABV offering from Tullamore Dew. I see a lot of potential that could benefit from turning up the volume. Honestly, at the price point, it's a good value buy as an easy sipper or for cocktails that benefit from a mild whiskey.
6/10
I'd love to hear if you've had their other expressions (and if so, what you think of them!).
