Tullamore DEW Cider Cask is a tasty whiskey. It’s fun and fruity with some darker earthy notes that spring up along the way making it more dynamic than the original. It’s a perfectly sippable whiskey with something unique and interesting about it that makes it right at home in any Irish whiskey lover’s home bar.
Pot still surfaces through the saccharine cider flavors, with coiled Bramley apple peels, citrus strands, and a nippy spiciness. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
The taste has red apples, ginger, nutmeg, a hint of allspice, and vanilla, while the finish is long, fruity, and smooth for a light, easy-sipping whiskey.
Tullamore D.E.W. is consistently underrated, particularly in its special edition and age statemented whiskeys. Cider Cask is one of its more unusual — and particularly worthwhile — recent releases.
