From the recently revived Dunville's Very Rare range of Irish whiskey, presented by the Echlinville distillery in Northern Ireland, comes a 10 year old single malt Irish whiskey which has been finished in Pedro Ximénez casks. A very intriguing release, with plenty of orchard fruit, custard and old fashioned sweetie notes. It was recently crowned Best Irish Single Malt Under 12 Years at the 2015 World Whiskies Awards.
Fresh green apples, tropical chews and coconut lead, with dried grass and a touch of crème brûlée.
Stewed red fruits, candied orange and a crackle of black pepper initially, before a little mocha, custard and spice rise.
Juicy and pleasant on the finish with some lingering wood.
a disappointing purchase, very sweet with a short finish for a 70pound a bottle. so many Irish whiskies surpassed this offering. would not purchase again.
Smooth and delightful! Would like to buy a few bottles in the USA.
A sweet but not cloying Whiskey with some unusual moments to be had in it's complex character. If you like a sherry cask finish you can't go wrong with this really. At this price point, it's a knockout.
Very unusual whisky. Sweet yes, but in a lemon Sherbet kind of way. Orchard fruits in the background with a relatively short finish. I’m not a massive fan of this. Good to have in the cabinet for friends who like light easy going whiskies but not for me. To be honest I’m still to find an Irish whisky that blows me away. The search continues...
Great stuff. 94 proof
