I would recommend Tullamore to anyone hesitant to get into whisk(e)y, or anyone looking to fuel a lengthy instance of imbibement. And at less than $30 a bottle, Tullamore proves a reasonably priced dram in a world of overpriced, over-hyped whiskies – a treat in and of itself.
The darker notes that arrive in the aroma, palate and finish are a nice change of pace to the honied orchard fruit that typically dominates the blended Irish category making it at least mildly interesting.
