This limited release of 13,000 bottles, which marries bourbon and port-matured whiskey, has garnered acclaim for its unique flavour profile.

Nose: The aroma is distinctively floral, with hints of honeysuckle and hay. There’s also a wisp of smoke over a backdrop of nuttiness, reminiscent of raw almonds.

Taste: Delicate and light-bodied, this whiskey opens with a smoky flavour that seems to dissipate quickly. However, it then comes around on the back palate with a hit of black tea. Layers of cherry wood, white pepper and apricot.

Finish: Chocolate chip cookies, five-spice and menthol.

The Dingle Whiskey Distillery was crafted and conceived by three independent spirits: Oliver Hughes; Liam LaHart and Peter Mosley. Oliver, Liam and Peter are the people behind Porterhouse Brewing Company; one of the pioneers of craft brewing in Ireland in 1996. Craft beer in Ireland in the mid-1990s was not appealing to the masses. The idea was radical to some, simply mad to the rest. The refined pallets of the then youthful Oliver, Liam and Peter had seen a love for beer. As their palates became more and more experienced to the taste of Earth’s natural ingredients, the attention turned to whiskey.
