Dunville's Three Crowns Peated Irish Whiskey
Dunville's · Echlinville Distillery
Dunville's proves that Irish peat doesn't have to shout to be heard. This whiskey occupies that threshold between smoke and sweetness with uncommon grace. It rewards anyone who thinks peated Irish whiskey is a contradiction in terms.
Kit Aromas
Nose
A gentle peat smoke opens the door — nothing aggressive, more like a turf fire glimpsed from a distance. Behind it, honey and vanilla create a warm, approachable core. Hints of green cut grass and a faint medicinal edge add intrigue.
Palate
Creamy mouthfeel with malt and butterscotch leading the charge. The peat here acts as seasoning rather than protagonist, weaving through layers of dried fruit and clove spice. A subtle earthiness anchors the mid-palate.
Finish
Medium, with lingering smoke and a pleasant woody dryness. The honey returns at the tail, balancing the phenolic whisper.

Keeper's Heart
