Dunville's Three Crowns Blended Irish Whiskey
Dunville's · The Echlinville Distillery
A polished, easygoing blend that punches above its price — the resurrected Dunville's name in modern form, showcasing Echlinville's growing confidence with sourced and estate stocks.
Nose
Soft orchard fruit — ripe pear and green apple — layered over vanilla cream, warm shortbread, and a whisper of toasted almond.
Palate
Silky and rounded, opening with honeyed malt and stewed apple, moving into gentle baking spice, buttered brioche, and a light citrus lift.
Finish
Medium-length, clean and creamy, with lingering vanilla, dried apricot, and a soft grassy note that trails off warmly.

Cocktail Suggestion
The Kircubbin Sunrise — 2 oz Dunville's Three Crowns, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup (2:1), 2 dashes orange bitters. Shake with ice, strain into a chilled coupe, express an orange peel over the surface.
Food Pairing
Aged Coolea cheese with brown bread and heather honey, or seared scallops with brown butter.
Once Belfast's most celebrated whiskey house before falling silent in 1936, the Dunville's name was revived in 2013 by Echlinville — Northern Ireland's first new distillery license in over a century, where barley is grown, malted, and distilled on a single Ards Peninsula estate.
