Tullamore Dew 'Crock' 12 Year Old Blended Whiskey, Ireland

1970s Tullamore Dew Ceramic Jug

Colour: straw.

Nose: Nice mineral notes, more fresh herbs (chives? Tarragon?), mint for sure, maybe a little mineral water (many have relatively expressive noses if you use a good glass)… In short, a pleasant nose. Ah, yes, all that on a bed of ripe apples and barley.

Mouth: sweet, easy, a faint smokiness, barley sugar, maple syrup, roasted hazelnuts, cornflakes, apple compote and very sweet cider. It’s good.

Finish: not long but pleasantly honeyed. Mocha.
