Tullamore D.E.W. 14 Year Old Single Malt

Tullamore D.E.W. · Tullamore Distillery

$8082.4 proof14 YearCounty Offaly, Ireland
The marriage of four different cask types across fourteen Irish seasons gives this whiskey a layered complexity that defies its approachable price. It captures the moderate, damp Irish midlands climate that keeps angel's share low and maturation gradual. A textbook example of how patience and Ireland's mild climate produce uncommon depth.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Orchard fruit and dried apricot open up, followed by toasted almond and a creamy vanilla note. A gentle waft of clove spice sits underneath, with honey holding everything together.

Palate

Smooth and medium-bodied, with a honeyed malt core and waves of dried fruit — fig and date — wrapped in gentle oak. A floral rosewater quality emerges at mid-palate, adding elegance.

Finish

Long and warming, with clove spice, fading vanilla, and a woody dryness that grounds the sweetness.

The Story

After a 60-year absence, Tullamore D.E.W. returned to its hometown in 2014 with a brand-new distillery on the banks of the Grand Canal, and this 14-year-old single malt represents the first extended-age expression developed entirely under the stewardship of master blender Caroline Martin.

Tullamore D.E.W. XO Caribbean Rum Cask Finish

Tullamore D.E.W.

This is a cask finish that actually earns its secondary maturation. The demerara rum barrels add genuine complexity rather than mere sweetness, and the underlying triple-distilled blend has enough structure to hold it together. At this price, it's one of Irish whiskey's better-kept secrets.

Tullamore D.E.W. Cider Cask Finish

Tullamore D.E.W.

This is a smart and genuinely different cask finish in the Irish category. The cider barrels contribute something you rarely encounter in whiskey — a cidery tartness that keeps the palate alert without overpowering the triple-distilled base. It works best chilled or in a long serve, making it an ideal warm-weather Irish whiskey.

Keeper's Heart

Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
