BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.

STATED AGE: 10 years old.

STRENGTH: 46% Vol.

NOSE: crystal clarity to the sharp, ultra fresh barley. Clean, uncluttered by excessive oak, the apparent lightness is deceptive; the intensity of the malt carries its own impressive weight and the citrus note compliments rather than thins. Enticing;

TASTE: immediately zingy and eye-watering salivating with a fabulous layering of sweet barley. Equally delicate oak chimes in to ensure a lightly spiced balance and a degree of attitude;

FINISH: longer than the early barley freshness would have you expecting, with soft oils ensuring an extended, tapering, malty edge to the gentle, clean oak;

BALANCE: sophisticated, sensual with character and about as puckering elegant as single malt gets…and even thirst-quenching. My God: the guy who put this one together must be a genius, or something

Tullamore Irish Whiskey – New Arrivals At Edencroft!

Tullamore D.E.W. / 18 Year Old Single Malt.
£90.00

New Arrivals

Tullamore D.E.W. / Irish Whiskey .
Tullamore D.E.W. / Irish Whiskey .

£23.50
Country: Irish
Region: Irish
Age: 
Strength: 40%.

Summary: 

COUNTRY/REGION: Ireland.

CATEGORY: Blend.

DISTILLERY: Tullamore Dew.

BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.

ABV: 40% Vol.

Tullamore D.E.W. Original is a triple distilled, triple blend of all three types of Irish whiskey: single malt, grain and pot still. The sweet softness of grain whiskey, soft spice from the pot still and fruitiness of the single malt create a uniqueness of flavour that marks out Tullamore D.E.W. from all other Irish whiskeys. Tullamore D.E.W. Original is triple cask matured in three distinct cask types – traditional refill, ex-bourbon and ex-sherry – to create unrivalled depth and balance of flavour.

The early floral yet biscuit flavour reflects the grain whiskey, while the soft spicy notes can be attributed to the pot still whiskey in the blend. The citrus flavour is complemented by the single malt. The nutty, or even marzipan note, combined with distinctive vanilla in the finish, is imparted by the sherry and bourbon casks used in maturation.

John Quinn, Global Brand Ambassador for Tullamore D.E.W., said: “Tullamore D.E.W. is the only whiskey to insist on the ‘Power of Three’ at the three key stages of whiskey making. It’s a triple distilled, triple blend of all three types of whiskey, matured in three types of cask. It’s the blend of all three types of triple distilled whiskey, and, in particular, the inclusion of single malt, that gives Tullamore D.E.W. more complexity and a unique smoothness, setting it apart from all others as an Irish whiskey of true character.”

NOSE: Light, sweet citrus and green apple combined with vanilla undertones.

TASTE: Early fresh fruit leads to a definite light spike followed by some toasted wood which evolves into a delicious vanilla sweetness.

FINISH: Put the glass down as you sense the almost buttery mellowness.

COUNTRY/REGION: Sweden.

BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.

BOTTLING SERIE: Moment range.

BOTTLED: 2020

CASK TYPE: .

NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 1500

ABV: 43% Vol.

The Moment Edition Story: Down in Bodås mine, thousands of casks are stored which are periodically quality tested by Mackmyra's Master Blender, Angela D'Orazio. During her trips to the mine, she sometimes encounters some casks that stand out from the rest, and these casks deserve to be bottled as they are or in an edition with an extra clear vision. Due to this reason Mackmyra created the exclusive series called Moment.

Moment Körsbärsrök (Cherry Smoke) is a smoky whisky with a peaty spiciness and sweet notes of cherry. The recipe of the whisky is created from a combination of Mackmyra's smoky and unsmoked new make, both distilled at our original Mackmyra Bruk distillery in 2010. The smoky new make was aged in ex-Bourbon casks in the sizes 100 to 200 litres. The complementary unsmoked spirit was aged in ex-Bourbon and American oak casks seasoned with German cherry wine.

The medium-sweet cherry wine is perfect for cask seasoning and gives the whisky fruity, intense notes of cherry.

Here, Mackmyra's most special casks and recipes come into their own. Each edition has a very limited amount bottles that are released and you can expect at least one new Moment edition per year.

NOSE: Fruity with notes of peat, tar and spicy juniper-smoke. Round notes of toasted oak, vanilla, anise, and fruity cherry followed by citrus and pear fudge.

TASTE: Fruity and smoky with a well-balanced spiciness. Fine smoky notes with peat, oil and juniper. Fruity cherries and round notes of oak and vanilla.

AFTERTASTE: Fruity, smoky and spicy with pleasant notes of tar, peat, juniper, vanilla and fruity cherries.

Each bottle barrel is bottled at strength, between 120 – 122 proof.

COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland/Speyside.

CATEGORY: Single Malt.

DISTILLERY: Tomintoul.

BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.

STRENGTH: 43% Vol.

The Tomintoul Cigar Malt Parejo Oloroso Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been specially created by Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, who is celebrating his 30th year as the Manager at Tomintoul Distillery.

Tomintoul Cigar Malt is a rich, complex and robust whisky, bottled at 43% ABV. Robert Fleming personally selected an intricate combination of Tomintoul single malts from specially selected vintages, which he has carefully balanced with some rare peated Tomintoul single malt. Each of these individual single malts has been either matured fully or finished in hand-selected Oloroso sherry butts, sourced from partner bodegas in Andalucia, Spain.

Robert Fleming, Master Distiller commented:

“I am incredibly proud to release this new expression of Tomintoul, as I personally selected the range of Tomintoul single malts that make up this extremely complex and unique whisky. The Tomintoul Cigar Malt has the perfect balance of sweetness and spice, with a rich, smoky background.”

The Tomintoul Cigar Malt is also referred to as Tomintoul Cigar Malt Parejo, because it has been created to be the perfect ‘Parejo’ (Spanish for “partner”) to the world’s finest cigars. The rich and sweet oloroso sherry notes, creamy malt profile and gentle peat smoke make this single malt the perfect accompaniment to savour alongside your favourite cigar or just to appreciate and enjoy by itself.

The attractive and impactful packaging has been created to remind consumers of timeless cigar tubes and cigar boxes highlighting the connection between a fine single malt Scotch whisky and highest quality cigars.

NOSE: Bold and pronounced with aromas of dried fruits, sweet spices, pecan pie and subtle peat smoke

PALATE: Sweet and rich with layers of chocolate raisins, butter toffees and brambles mingled with black pepper and smoky woody spices

FINISH: Warming and long with notes of mocha, maple syrup and toasted oak lingering on the tongue

Region: Irish
Age: 
Strength: 40%.

Summary: 

COUNTRY/REGION: Ireland.

CATEGORY: Blend.

DISTILLERY: Midleton (1975-)

BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.

BOTTLING SERIE: Vintage Release 2019.

BOTTLED: 2019.

CASK TYPE: Lightly-charred Ex-Bourbon American Oak.

ABV: 40% Vol.

Midleton Very Rare 2019 is the result of the careful blending of exceptional, rare and hand-selected single pot still and single grain Irish whiskeys.

Each cask has been matured exclusively in lightly-charred ex-Bourbon American oak barrels for between 12 and 28 years, imparting a vanilla sweetness which is in keeping with the rich tradition laid down by the series over the past four decades.

The 2019 edition offers a subtle floral note alongside a hint of fresh herbs and citrus from the Irish grain whiskey contribution, which is complemented by the spicier Irish single pot still whiskey characteristics of cinnamon, clove and black pepper. The vanilla sweetness contrasts with the charred oak to deliver a finishing touch of orchard fruit, green banana and a hint of barley sugar.
