Dunville's 10 Year Old PX Cask Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Dunville's · Echlinville Distillery (bottler; sourced malt matured and finished at Echlinville, County Down)
A masterclass in restraint: the PX cask is expressive but never smothering, and the malt's quiet strength gives the whiskey a compressed, brooding energy — tension held within, indeed.
Nose
Raisin-soaked sponge cake, toasted almond, milk chocolate, and a whisper of orange peel, with a background of polished oak and dark honey.
Palate
Rich and layered — fig jam, dark muscovado, roasted hazelnut, and clove-dusted stewed plum. The malt holds its shape beneath the sherry, offering a taut cereal backbone that keeps the sweetness in check.
Finish
Long, gently drying, with lingering cocoa, walnut skin, and a resinous echo of oak spice.

Food Pairing
Aged Coolea cheese with fig chutney and toasted walnut bread, or a slice of dark chocolate torte with sea salt.
Once a titan of Belfast's Royal Irish Distilleries silenced in 1936, Dunville's was resurrected in 2012 by the Echlinville Distillery on the Ards Peninsula, where the name now carries a new generation of carefully sherry-matured single malts.

The Quiet Man Traditional Irish Whiskey Bourbon Cask Matured

Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength
Keeper's Heart
Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
The Dubliner 6yr Cask Strength Double Barrel Irish Whiskey
The Dubliner
This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection. The six years of maturation provide enough oak influence to give structure without overwhelming the grain character. A perfect fireside pour as the harvest season draws to its close.
