Portrait: What makes the Tullamore D.E.W. Cider Cask Finish special
The Tullamore D.E.W. Cider Cask Finish is proof that even a traditional Irish whiskey occasionally fancies a little adventure. And this adventure leads – believe it or not – into a cider barrel. Yes, you read that right: After its regular maturation, this blend is allowed to relax once more in former cider casks. A mini-break in the countryside, so to speak, but without the wellies. The Tullamore D.E.W. brand is one of the best-known names in Ireland and looks back on a history that dates back to 1829. The addition of "D.E.W." has nothing to do with morning dew, by the way, but refers to Daniel E. Williams, a man who rose from stable boy to manager – practically the Irish version of rags to riches, only with considerably more whiskey involved.
Tullamore D.E.W. is produced in the heart of Ireland, where triple-distilled whiskeys are traditionally a hallmark. This is also a blend, a combination of different whiskey styles that together create a harmonious whole. And it is precisely this interplay that takes an additional, rather unusual turn with the Cider Cask Finish.
The idea of maturing whiskey in cider casks is not only creative, but also a subtle nod to Irish culture of enjoyment. After all, cider also has a long tradition on the Emerald Isle. So why not combine two worlds? Exactly.
What makes this Tullamore so special is its relaxed spirit of experimentation. It remains true to its roots, but at the same time shows that tradition and curiosity go together perfectly. Not a stuffy classic, but rather the kind of whiskey you spontaneously plan a trip after work.
In short: The Tullamore D.E.W. Cider Cask Finish is a whiskey with a passport – and a slight fondness for apples.
