Tullamore D.E.W. Phoenix is an expression of the great history of our town and a celebration of our people.
In 1785, Tullamore witnessed a devastating hot-air balloon accident, the resulting blaze nearly destroyed the town but immeasurably strengthened her people.
Since that day, they placed a phoenix in the town’s coat of arms. Driven by their positive spirit, the town’s renaissance in the ensuing decades saw the establishment of the Tullamore distillery in 1829.
The Irish pot still component is finished in Oloroso Sherry casks giving this Irish whiskey a rich edge!
Nose: Warm and spicy initially as rich, toffee, vanilla notes become evident. The characteristic leafy, malty notes of Tullamore D.E.W. are enriched with deeper, toasted oak aroma and a hint of sherry.
Taste: The higher strength lingers on the tongue leaving a spicy pot still flavour. Addition of a little water releases layers of caramel sweetness, delicate floral notes and oak tannins.
Finish: Long lasting with a lingering warmth. A perfect balance of oloroso sherry sweetness and spicy creamy pot still.
