Very cool! Am I correct in thinking that the Dew in Tullamore Dew is actually D.E.W. for D.E. Williams? Am I correct in assuming that D.E. Williams was the founder of Tullamore Distillery? Curious newbies to Irish whiskey (and its history) would like to know...

Thank you for the link Joel. :thumbsup: I was on the very website last night just poking around a little bit, but didn't think to look this up at the time.

How is the standard Tullamore DEW generally regarded? It's the only Tullamore available in Ontario. If at all comparable, how is it similar/different from Writer's Tears (seemingly the closest overall profile of the limited number of Irish whiskies that I have been able to try to date?). Out of curiousity, is it similar to Auchentoshan 12 or Valinch at all?

It has had a personality by-pass. The operation was an unqualified success.
