I can't believe I have not done a review of this whiskey. Tullamore D.E.W was the first Irish whiskey I really enjoyed when I began my drinking journey. I had tried both Jameson and Bushmills White label but neither was tasty to me. In the glass, Tullamore has a light straw color and barely leaves any liquid on the sides of the glass when swirled. The nose is light and fruity with the light scent of tart apples like Gala or Fiji with some hint of citrus as well. The body is typically Irish in that it rushes across your palate with vanilla and mild caramel and is gone too quickly. With the finish being pleasant and a bit brief. While this whiskey is no longer my goto Irish whiskey as it was replaced by Proper 12 it still holds a spot in my heart and I do try to keep a bottle in my bar for memories. This whiskey is readily available and I have never had a bad bottle as with so many things in the drinking world "Quantity has a Quality all its own". Is it a nice sipping whiskey yes and sometimes that is enough for me. Lastly, I have made several variations on Irish coffee with this, and since it is so smooth and soft it has worked well with all of the flavors and variations I have used. Enjoy.

Hey Guys. I do not believe I have tried Bushmills Black but I will keep my eyes open in the next weeks for it. I will set a tasting between D.E.W, BB, and Slane triple cask. As far as Paddy's I have only had it once and it was terrible but I am open to another try.
A) I still cannot believe people will spend the same money on Jameson when they could get T D.E.W. instead. B)Fox is right you need to try the Black Bushmills, for the best comparison C) Try the Slane triple cask next, it typically falls in line with these price wise and beats them all ... or D) save 5 bucks and get a bottle of Paddy's
Appreciate the rec for this and Proper 12 as budget Irish :) Have you tried Bushmill's Black to compare? I think that is more in the Tullamore price range than the white is.
