    We recently returned from Ireland, where we visited the Tullamore DEW distillery. They crafted an authentic Irish whiskey for us during the tour. I wasn’t paying close attention at the time, so I was excited to come across this recipe because it perfectly matches what they made for us on that misty day in Ireland.
