2020 Tullamore D.E.W. 12 Year.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Tullamore D.E.W. 12 Year Old is a triple-distilled blend of all three types of Irish whiskey: pot still, grain, and malt. The high proportion of pot still and malt whiskeys, matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks for 12 to 15 years, lends a distinctive complexity and character to this exceptional spirit.

The nose is a delightful interplay of early spice, red wine, nuttiness, and a light woody note, all brought on by the 12 years spent in oak casks. The palate is a harmonious blend of flavors, with a deep spice, a robust yet creamy body, and a definite chocolaty note. Dried fruits and nuts accompany the chocolate, creating a veritable praline note in the taste. The finish is long and rich, with lingering notes of citrus, chocolate, raisins, and marzipan.

The Tullamore D.E.W. 12 Year Old Special Reserve is a testament to the craftsmanship and passion of the Tullamore D.E.W. distillery. This limited-edition release is a prized possession for any whiskey enthusiast, offering a rare glimpse into the world of Irish whiskey. With its exceptional flavor profile and innovative blend, the 12 Year Old is a true masterpiece that will be cherished for years to come.
