🥃 Tullamore Dew 14 Year Old Single Malt
Irish single malt line of the Tullamore Dew brand, 14 years; bourbon, oloroso, port and Madeira casks; 41.3% ABV.
Tullamore Dew 14 Year Old Single Malt is an Irish single malt from the Tullamore Dew brand. It is 14 years old and 41.3% ABV, a little above the standard 40%. The whiskey matures in casks of four types.
The Whiskyphiles calls it a triple-distilled Irish single malt with bourbon, port, Madeira and oloroso sherry casks. The Daily Pour describes the same four cask types and mentions the 14-year age, but does not say whether it refers to maturation or a finish, so we do not state that for certain.
Why this matters to you. This is a single malt line of the brand, so keep it apart from the blends Original and 12 Year Old, which contain grain whiskey, and from the rum finish. The 41.3% strength should be checked on the label, as it is slightly higher than in the other lines of the brand. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
