Description
Tullamore D.E.W. 12 year old Special Reserve is a triple distilled blend of all three types of Irish whiskey. However, it has a high proportion of pot still and malt whiskeys, matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, for 12 to 15 years. A very fine aged whiskey with great complexity.Aromas of early spice followed by red wine while a nice nuttiness follows before a light woody note brought on from 12 years spent in oak casks. A deep spice flavor with a robust yet creamy body cloaked in a definite chocolaty note. Dried fruits and nut accompany the chocolate, giving a verticable praline note in the taste. The finish is long and rich with some citrus, chocolate, raisins and marzipan all lingering.

With its mild aromatics and flavor, this light-gold blended whiskey is suitable for sipping or mixing. Look for vanilla, caramel, touches of nuts, orange peel and gentle spice notes on the finish.
