The DEW stands for Daniel E. Williams who started off as the Stable Boy at the distillery, then called Daly’s distillery in the town of Tullamore. He ended up as the owner. Production was switched to Powers in Dublin during the sixties, only to be moved again to Midleton in County Cork .
In 2014 the brand was brought by William Grant, of Glenfiddich and Grants blend fame. They have rebuilt the distillery just outside of Tullamore, and it is now producing again. They use traditional Irish methods, triple distillation and using some un-malted barley. The Spirit is a high 80% ABV when it comes off the stills, suggesting a light, purer spirit.
The XO rum cask finish is a new release, they have filled Tullimore D.E.W. into first fill XO rum casks to deliver sweet tropical flavours.
Tasting Notes.
Nose- Vanilla and oak overlaid with citrus, ripe bananas and delicate spice.
PALATE- Creamy smooth mouthfeel bringing out the deliciously deep caramel and banana notes with hints of dates and raisins.
Finish- Long and sweet with bananas and caramel.
Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
