Here, 11 million litres of whiskey are produced. Set in the heart of Ireland, our grain to glass distillery spans a whopping 58 acres where we mill, mash, ferment, distill, mature and bottle our whiskey all on one site. Palate: Green apple Jolly Ranchers, sweet, tangy, candied. Tullamore, a small town with a big reputation in Irish whiskey is home to a legendary whiskey with over 192 years of history. Nose: Not much here - hints of orchard fruits, especially apples, definitely sweet, but remains pretty tight throughout. The original Tullamore DEW is triple cask-matured in ex-bourbon barrels, ex-sherry casks, and refill barrels. If you’re just starting out in Irish Whiskey, though? Definitely try some Tully - it’s a necessary dram to compare to the rest. we have a long history with many stories to tell because our distillery was first established in 1829. I’ve had the chance to taste a few of their more premium expressions, and they are more what I’m looking for in a whiskey (especially in the mouthfeel). It tastes fine, but there’s something plain about it that isn’t interesting to me. Just like Jameson, though, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t taste good.Īs far as Irish whiskies go, I’ll admit Tully isn’t my first or second go-to (Bushmills is the first and the second could be Jameson IPA or Fighting Irish 69th, or Slane - there’s a lot out there). Tullamore D.E.W.’s Trilogy is a 15 year old whiskey that undergoes you guessed it three different barrel treatments. It’s cheap, comes in 1.75L handles, and is widely available.
Tullamore D.E.W., or “Tully”, is probably the second bulk /Irish whiskey college students/partiers, in general, go to after Jameson. Maybe Tullamore means in the Republic of Ireland? I’ll have to look into that… Not really sure what that means or what to do with it - Bushmills, while in Northern Ireland, is over 200 years older (founded 1608), also triple distills its whiskey, and is also a multi-grain blend. Tullamore DEW advertises itself as the original triple blended Irish whiskey. But we’ll still call it dew because the company does. That’s right, folks - it’s not dew, it’s D.E.W.
