Tullamore Dew Original Irish Whiskey
Tullamore Dew Original Irish Whiskey is a 40% ABV (80 proof) triple-distilled, triple-blended Irish whiskey — pot still, malt, and grain whiskey married together and matured in three cask types: ex-bourbon barrels, ex-Oloroso sherry casks, and seasoned refill wood — in this 750mL bottle. It is one of the few Irish whiskeys to blend all three native styles, distilled in Tullamore, County Offaly, where the brand's heritage reaches back to 1829. Retailers report Gold medals at the International Spirits Challenge (2020) and World Whiskies Awards (2019). Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Original Triple Blend from Tullamore
D.E.W. stands for Daniel E. Williams, the early distillery manager whose initials became one of whiskey's most recognized labels. The Original is the blend that built the name: three Irish whiskey styles, each distilled three times, rested in three kinds of wood. Since 2014 the whiskey has been made at a purpose-built grain-to-glass distillery back in its hometown — six copper pot stills and, since 2020, an on-site cooperage.

Tasting Notes
Smooth and gently complex: citrus and green apple up front, vanilla and honeyed malt through the middle, a whisper of sherry nuttiness on the finish. The triple distillation keeps it famously smooth; the three casks give it more depth than its easy-drinking reputation suggests.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks for the classic pour; it is also the Irish whiskey for an Irish coffee done right and a natural fit in a whiskey ginger. Its smoothness makes it an ideal first Irish whiskey — and a reliable back-bar staple.
