    WesBy WesDecember 17, 2019No Comments2 Mins Read

    Day Seventeen: Irish Whiskey Advent Calendar Countdown

    DEC 17 – Tullamore D.E.W. 12 Year Special Reserve     40%     Cost = $50-$55    Score:  B

    Nose:  really like on initial nosing – rich, sweet and fruity – apricot and peaches, vanilla

    Taste:  caramel, honey, apple, dark chocolate, some oak with a nuttiness

    Finish:  medium-long, pleasant with citrus at the end

    Overall:  blend of pot still, malt, and grain whiskies aged in bourbon and sherry casks; solid effort, price, palate, and age are all positives

    Click the links below for the introduction and other Irish Whiskey Advent Calendar Reviews. The top 2 from the second round of 6 whiskies shown above were the Writers Tears Copper Pot and Hyde No. 6 President’s Reserve.
