Tullamore D.E.W. XO Carribbean Rum Cask Finish has been inspired by the brand’s global advertising platform, ‘The Beauty of Blend’. As one of the only brands to insist on a triple blend of all three types of Irish whiskey, the brand aims to champion the power of blend in whiskey, culture, and society. Their latest campaign aims to open a window onto the human blend and our motivations for blending.

While the earliest records of whiskey making are found in Ireland, what is less well known is that the Irish also played a role in the early development of rum in the Caribbean. In the 16th and 17th centuries, more than fifty thousand Irish emigrants arrived in the ‘West Indies’, where it is believed their experience of whiskey distilling became blended with local expertise, playing an instrumental role in the inception and growth of the Caribbean rum business.

Reflecting this unique history, the product packaging is inspired by antique Caribbean trade maps, passport stamps, and travel journals. The Tullamore D.E.W. XO Caribbean Rum Cask Finish pack is designed to stand out among whiskeys and emphasize the blending of Irish heart with a Caribbean soul.

At our Tullamore Distillery, we are constantly experimenting with our whiskey making. Tullamore D.E.W. XO Caribbean Rum Cask Finish was just one of many trials inspired by our work on the Beauty of Blend, but immediately stood out to our whiskey makers as being something truly special. Many styles of Caribbean rum were tested, but carefully selected first fill XO Caribbean rum casks, previously used to age Demerara rum, imparted distinctive sweet tropical fruit and warm spice flavours to our original blend. The combination of Irish heart and Caribbean soul balance beautifully.
