yay i went and bought this after your last video, its really interesting coming from maker's and buffalo. $65 NZD was a great deal. spot on about the sour apple out the bottle
Last time I had Tullamore was June last year. Had a whole bottle on Tullamore Dew XO rum cask finish. what i remember is that on the nose it had lots of vanilla with oak banana coconut on the palate the same things but maybe add some dried dark fruits like raisins and stuff the regular green one i had like 3-4 years ago ngl and i can remember that it is very soft creamy easy to drink with vanilla, maybe some cherry and some chocolate that's about all i remember from the green regular
I love Tullamore DEW! My favorite rendition is the Trilogy. That one is finished in rum casks as well. Extremely interesting, complex, and delicious. Thanks for the review!
Tullamore Dew green label was the first full size bottle of whisky that I bought. I only have about three inches left as I quite enjoy it. Glad to hear that you do a special Irish whisky month as thats pretty much all I buy at this point. Side note, my walmart had Bushmills Black Bush for $13, 750ml. Only two bottles but felt like I won a lotto. And that blooper was classic. :D
This is just a classic Irish pot still and I've always wondered what a cask strength dram would taste like. Not challenging, but sometimes you just want a nice sipper. Thanks, Bill.
See, this is a pleasant surprise given I've only ever had the green tullamore chilled down straight from a bottle while venue hopping (stumbling really) in eastern Europe xD
I had the regular Tullamore mor than a year ago. For me it was too bitter, thin and harsh. I didn't really enjoy it in an Irish coffee either. So I won't replace it anytime soon. But I will try the 12yo if I find it.
This sounds like it is worth a shot if I saw it for a decent price. Can't remember the last time I had the regular dew, but I obviously wasn't impressed cause I've yet to revisit. Irish is a good go to when I'm looking for something easy, so that makes this appeal to me.
My fave TD is the Phoenix - not age-stated, but higher abv which outweighs the age for me. I actually add 20% of the 12yo to 80% of the Phoenix. After left to blend for a month or so it's delicious. Phoenix is discontinued, but I was lucky enough to buy several bottles before 'extinction'.
Its a nice one goes down all to well I polished off a bottle all to quickly if like this you should try Tullamore DEW XO carribbean finish very nice also a bit cheaper (no cork) good review.
Listen... listen... umm here guy.. bill sir lol. I could sit and watch you nose a whiskey for 10 minutes I wouldn't care lol. I would also love to see some cocktail videos and what's your favorite game day whiskey/bar food/snacks
Good review, but based on your review imma return the bottle I got few days back. It was almost $55 after taxes. I can pick up a nice higher ABV scotch or a Smokewagon bourbon for that price.
This bottle really is fantastic, and at $42 I’m tempted to call it the best value in Irish whiskey I’ve had. However, I’m getting Jameson Black Barrel for $33 and, although the Tullamore 12 is more tasty, I’d have to give the value crown to that Black Barrel. It ain’t Green Spot, but it’s reminiscent of it.
i respect everyone's opinion and look forward to trying this. Green Tullamore D.E.W. is my favorite and i find it to be the smoothest whiskey I have had. Not that I'm a world renowned drinker or aficionado at all. I just find it to be the smoothest whiskey I've had. Again thank you for the review and look fwd to trying the 12, but had to defend my go to when it was called harsh 😀
I'm finding the Irish I'm tasting through right now to be soft and light. I'd be hard pressed to buy a 40%-er. Luckily my return to Yellow Spot was better than I remember. Bottle was maybe 3/4 full and I hadn't opened it basically since last March. So I'm hopefully for the Waterford and Glendalough I'm opening this weekend.
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary oh i definitely wouldn't think that. Yellow Spot was a bit of a disappointment when I first got it last year. So I'm glad it's an Irish that's rounding into something I appreciate more now
Greetings from a fan from Tullamore! Offaly is pronounced like you would expect, like offal or awful but with a y at the end Uíbh Fhailí is what you were trying to pronounce, it's more like Ew Fall-Ya with a few Irish language pronunciation quirks
You said Uíbh Fhailí which is the irish language version, whereas the written caption Offaly was the Anglicized version, pronounced like you would expect. Most names have original and anglicised versions which can be confusing.
I had the standard Tullimore Dew about six months ago. It was “ok”. I haven’t tried the 12 year but it’s $55 here in Florida. I usually won’t pay more than $30 for a 40% whiskey. Now if it were a 21 year whiskey from the 70s, I would pay a couple of hundred bucks for it. However, these big brand distilleries have really dropped their standards over the last couple of decades. They are way overpriced for the juice in the bottle.
Sniffs bottle No you dont smell Apple my guy you smell simple alcohol no apple just alcohol lol. These videos all make me laugh. Even got my friends to do the same and they say Alcohol even my uncles and they say that. Anyone saying Peach, Apple are just making it up for the cameras
I understand you may think that but nope... especially in the case of sherried whiskey. If you smell a red wine do you only smell alcohol? Doubtful... so add whiskey in a barrel that used to carry Sherry and tell me that won't have some fruity smells and tastes... don't think you could. Here's hoping some day your sense of smell improves
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Its called Delusion tell yourself soo many lies how things smell sooner or later your believe it... caramel whiskey like cmon my guy know one smells that
So happy to see you enjoyed it, it’s my fav Irish, but I’ve seen it not get the greatest reviews from other whiskey tubers
Bah, they can all suck it! This is delicious
Got to appreciate that you tried to say Offaly! Great review, loving it. Keep up the good work
Hah thanks :)
yay i went and bought this after your last video, its really interesting coming from maker's and buffalo. $65 NZD was a great deal. spot on about the sour apple out the bottle
I appreciate and respect your reviews as always! Looking to pick up a bottle of "The Dew" tonight after work! Cheers!
Nice! Enjoy it!

that's about all i remember from the green regular
The best bottle for shots hands down

Hah yea... my desk still smells good
Have never tried Tullamore D.E.W. Will be drinking it this weekend. Will at some point try the 12yr.

I enjoyed this release significantly. Good flavour, a few layers, not complicated, but I would buy it again. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Cheers!

Hah, haven't we all!
No... maybe not... but I've done that in NYC!

Great review! Would love to see you review West Cork Barrel Proof. One of my favorite Irish whiskeys at the moment.
I'd like to try that one. I did thr West Cork bourbon barrel last year and I wasn't a fan. Higher ABV usually goes well though!
My fave TD is the Phoenix - not age-stated, but higher abv which outweighs the age for me. I actually add 20% of the 12yo to 80% of the Phoenix. After left to blend for a month or so it's delicious. Phoenix is discontinued, but I was lucky enough to buy several bottles before 'extinction'.

It's funny I really didn't like the XO
I also like to smell from the bottle here and there, feel like it's often different from what the glass gives off.
A little surprised at the price point…..will look for it

Yea, that's probably a good idea. Enjoy the new bottle!

Hah! Fair enough. Once you try the 12, I'll be interested to hear if you change your mind :)
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary looking very forward to it

Oh don’t misunderstand, this is no competition with the yellow spot

Thats interesting. It's one of my favorites
Greetings from a fan from Tullamore!
Offaly is pronounced like you would expect, like offal or awful but with a y at the end
Uíbh Fhailí is what you were trying to pronounce, it's more like Ew Fall-Ya with a few Irish language pronunciation quirks
Hah your language is hard!
I had the green label last year. It was good though not a memorable flavor. I've only tried a few Irish Whiskeys and plan to try the XO.
XO was a disappointment for me. Hopefully you enjoy it more
You said Uíbh Fhailí which is the irish language version, whereas the written caption Offaly was the Anglicized version, pronounced like you would expect. Most names have original and anglicised versions which can be confusing.
Whenever there's something in a scotch or Irish that looks different I always go look up how to pronounce it. Hope i didn't butcher it at least
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary O you flayed it.. ... ...
😞 really? I watched some Irish lady say it and copied her ruclips.net/video/5SzKQE6Livo/видео.html (around 2:55)
The "E" in D.E.W stands for Edmund. You're welcome!
😂😂😂 the County is pronounced (off-lee) Offaly! 🇮🇪 Great video though.👍🥃

Like or Dislike: Like. For some reason, apples I like but apple juice makes me want to vomit -- even the smell of it.
You are not alone buddy.
Offaly, is pronounced off -ah-lee 😉
The regular was, meh to me several years ago. Never bought it again.
Hey my man it's pronounced Off-lee, one syllable Offlee
Hah I tried. The lady I learned from said it the way I did. No clue of my own!
Dude. Seriously. It’s OFF A LEE said quickly.
Sniffs bottle No you dont smell Apple my guy you smell simple alcohol no apple just alcohol lol. These videos all make me laugh. Even got my friends to do the same and they say Alcohol even my uncles and they say that. Anyone saying Peach, Apple are just making it up for the cameras

I genuinely can't decide if you're trolling or just born with a lackluster sense of smell... but either way, I hope you figure it out.
