Dingle Single Malt Cask Strength Batch No. 6 Irish Whiskey
Dingle · Dingle Distillery
Dingle's small-batch approach — three copper pot stills in a converted sawmill on the edge of the Atlantic — produces Irish whiskey with unusual weight and character. This cask strength edition strips away the veil of dilution to reveal the distillery's malty, fruit-forward personality in full force. A serious contender for those who think Irish whiskey can't be bold.
Nose
Concentrated malt sweetness greets you first, followed by honey-drenched dried fruit, warm vanilla, and a wisp of floral rosewater. There's a pleasing earthy quality underneath.
Palate
Dense and chewy at cask strength, with waves of buttery toffee, clove spice, and dark cocoa. The malt is assertive and unvarnished, carrying notes of poached peach and toasted grain through a complex mid-palate.
Finish
Long and warming with lingering cocoa, dried fruit, and a pleasant woody dryness. The spirit's intensity resolves into a gentle sweetness.

Perched on the wild Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Dingle Distillery was one of Ireland's first craft whiskey producers, triple-distilling their spirit in small copper pot stills before aging in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks.
