Tullamore is, I believe, unique in Irish Whiskey in that it blends pot still, grain and malt whiskey. This gives it a pleasant maltiness as well as tones of golden barley. I am not sure about their casks but there is definately a charred wood element in there.
The brand has recently changed hands from C&C (the makers of Magner's Cider) to William Grant & Sons (the makers of Grant's/Glenfiddich) so I would expect we are likely to see much more of it as Grant's tries to make a return on its investment.
