Tullamore DEW Irish Whiskey 80 proof…$24.99
Established in 1829 by Michael Molloy, Tullamore DEW is named after one of Ireland’s most famous distillers: Daniel Edmund Williams. Williams started working at the original Tullamore distillery as a stable boy at just 15 years of age and rose to the position of Distillery Manager in just 10 years, later becoming the owner. Smooth and gently complex, Tullamore DEW Original Irish Whiskey is a blend of 3 spirits, where the grain contributes the sweetness, malt the fruity notes, and pot-still the spice. It’s triple-cask matured in refill barrels, ex-bourbon barrels, and ex-sherry butts before being bottled at 80 proof
Writer’s Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey 80 proof…$42.99
Writers’ Tears is a truly unique vatting of Single Malt and Single Pot Still whiskeys. This expression is non-peated and triple distilled from 60% Pot Still and 40% Malt. After being distilled the Irish whiskey is matured and aged in American Oak bourbon casks. Flashes of apple with hints of vanilla and honey on the nose with a distinctively pot still base. The palate is gently spiced with a burst of ginger and butterscotch with background notes of toasted oak. The finish is long and elegant with subtle notes of milk chocolate and almonds.
Teeling Single Grain Wine Cask Finish Irish Whiskey 92 proof…$54.99
Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey is crafted using an unconventional mash bill consisting of 95% corn and 5% malted barley that has been triple distilled and matured exclusively in French oak Ex-Cabernet Sauvignon red wine casks from California, producing a truly unique Irish Whiskey. The nose opens with spice and fruit notes that mingle with an underlying sweet, sugary note. The palate has a silky smooth mouthfeel, with a touch of spice and deep berry notes that balance the sweet undertones. The tannic influence of the red wine creates a unique, short, dry finish, encouraging another sip.
