The daughter was drinking Tullamore with her friends in Ireland, and liked it, so I bought some when she returned. It may not be the best, but that was my go to Irish whiskey just because it was our thing for a while. Good enough reason for me to drink a whiskey. Granted, after our bravado wore off, we started mixing it half&half with Baileys, on the rocks, which actually turned out to be an excellent relaxing evening drink...a bit more bite than Baileys which was good, but smoother than the Tullamore Dew alone.
