THE ENDURING IRISH SPIRIT
Dublin Whiskey Distillery was once a great powerhouse at the centre of the golden age of Irish whiskey. But it's no longer history. D.W.D. is back through Dublin's Own, a brand on a mission to prove there's more here than heritage.
DUBLIN's OWN
IRISH WHISKEY
70cl / 40%
Dublin's Own Irish Whiskey is a blend of triple-distilled malt and grain whiskeys, matured in bourbon casks for three to six years. This is a very modern Irish whiskey, built for balance rather than weight, with enough age to smooth things out without losing freshness.
Right now, the spirit comes from the superb Great Northern Distillery, but D.W.D. will soon return to its roots at a new, purpose-built home in central Dublin, just a short distance from the original distillery site.
"A veil of alluring aromas arousing the senses… an avalanche of hedonistic flavours…” That's what Richard Patterson MBE had to say. Worth a try, right?
The Taste
The bourbon cask influence does most of the talking. Vanilla, honey, a bit of soft oak. The grain component keeps it light, slightly sweet, easy to move through. The malt adds texture, bite, and depth. Bartenders will have a lot of fun with this. You can too. Add ginger ale, or make Irish Coffees, Whisky Sours... Go wherever the mood takes you!
WE ARE
DUBLIN's OWN
“If I can get to the heart of Dublin, I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world” – James Joyce.
Dublin Whiskey Distillery is one of those names that keeps popping up if you spend any time digging through Irish whiskey history. D.W.D was founded in 1872 by John Brannick, and sat right in the thick of Dublin’s whiskey trade when the city was still one of the world’s centres for it. By 1888 D.W.D. whiskey was being poured in the United States. its original trademark now preserved in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C
Then the usual story plays out. Decline, closure, silence. By the mid-20th century, it’s gone. Yet D.W.D.’s story never truly ended. Its name lived on through mirrors, adverts, memorabilia, the occasional unopened bottle tucked away in Irish pubs. In 2017, the brand was revived. Today, Dublin’s Own isn’t trying to reconstruct a lost style or claim continuity it can’t prove. It's trying to bring the spirit of Dublin to the world, one whiskey at a time.
