Tullamore Dew Single Malt Sherry Cask Finish

It's great that Irish whiskey is thriving and William Grant has bought Tullamore Dew. But they need help. To paraphrase English football fans someone doesn't know what he's doing. The label says this is 12 years old small batch and limited edition. What? The normal whiskey is a blend and there's no distillery. So what is this and why small batch? The whiskey's a mess too — flabby characterless and confused — the whiskey equivalent of a karaoke singer doing Led Zeppelin.
