Following a series of excellent batched single malts (and alongside producing an award-winning gin), the Dingle Distillery released its first core single malt Irish whiskey in mid-2020! It's a triple-distilled expression, matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and bourbon casks (61% sherry and 39% bourbon, if you love those intricate details), then bottled without chill-filtration. Dingle's previous whiskeys have been highly sought-after, so it's wonderful to get to see a more readily-available expression from the distillery on Ireland's south west coast.
A creamy, mellow, and supple mix of vanilla, posh dark chocolate, sherried dried fruit, and the prickling of aromatic spice from anise, clove, and nutmeg. Throughout there’s toffee, homemade apple pie, toasted almonds, and lime zest with hints of mint and marzipan.
More of that indulgent caramel, vanilla, and chocolatey goodness (this time orange chocolate) with raisins, espresso, apricots, and some black pepper in support. There’s also some hints of rhubarb crumble, black fruit, red wine, and black tea as well as acacia honey, leather, and brown sugar underneath.
Rhubarb and Custard boiled sweets, sticky toffee pudding, a little more lime, and dried fruit.

Have sampled almost all the Whiskey's from Dingle Distillery and have to say the one i come back to and, in my humble opinion is the one to stick with is their fantastic, complex, deliciouse standard Single Malt. Great value/quality ratio and a real surprise to those who havent had the good luck of trying before!
Bought for my husband who normally likes Irish whiskey. But he said this was too harsh and strong.
A very good malt great taste not cheap but worth a try cheers
Been a Fan of the Dingle Batch releases since launched 5 Years ago, so I had to give this one a try...and boy it doesn't disappoint! lovely deep colour and rounded sweet notes of candied orange, caramel, Bourbon and Sherry, very sippable on its own (although I like it with 1 ice cube) - for the money this is great value and it will be difficult deciding whether to get the next batch release or this on my next order - SLANTE!
