Four Woods, Fourteen Years
When Tullamore Dew retired its cult 10 Year Old Four Wood, it didn't retreat down the age ladder — it climbed, with 14 and 18 year old single malts carrying the four-cask idea further. The 14 spends up to fourteen years in ex-bourbon wood, then six-plus months finishing across sherry, port, and Madeira casks — a recipe few inventories can even assemble. The payoff is an intensely rich, smooth, fruit-driven Irish whiskey that reviewers compare to the best of the Highlands, triple-distilled the Irish way.

Tasting Notes
Nose: vibrant and lively — ripe apples, sweet citrus, tropical fruit, vanilla oak. Palate: beautifully rich and sweet — pear cake, melon cream, preserved peaches, acacia honey, with peppery spice and a dry-wood note. Finish: long, sweet, and rewarding.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks for the full four-cask interplay; it also shines in a well-crafted Irish Coffee or an Irish whiskey-forward Old Fashioned.

Is this the replacement for the 10 Year Four Wood?
