Dingle Single Malt Irish Whiskey is made at the Dingle Distillery in County Kerry, Ireland, using a mash bill of 100% malted barley. It is triple distilled and matured in a combination of first fill Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and ex-bourbon casks, with the whiskey containing spirit that is mainly six to seven years old. It is bottled at 46.3% ABV, non-chill filtered with no added color, and sells for around $65 to $80 per 700ml bottle.
Bright and light with a good amount of heat, notes of sweet toffee and the zest of a lemon before more wintery, pine flavors develop. Bright notes of evergreen spices and juniper berries are balanced by delicate notes of raw honey and ginger, and the finish leaves a pleasant oily wash that lingers on the palate and cuts the bite.
On the palate, the fruit notes initially tend toward tart lemon and even a little stone fruit before offering up more sweet malts, baked apple, and a subtle mix of baking spice and vanilla bean.
