Dingle Single Malt Irish Whiskey

The Dingle Single Malt Irish Whiskey is the core expression from the Dingle Distillery, a small, artisan distillery located in County Kerry, on the southwest coast of Ireland. Founded in 2012, Dingle prides itself on its traditional methods and the quality of its spirits. It was the first purpose-built, privately-owned distillery to open in Ireland in over 150 years.   

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: Distilled, matured, and bottled at the Dingle Distillery in County Kerry, Ireland.   
• Single Malt: Made from 100% malted Irish barley.
• Triple Distilled: Following traditional Irish methods, the whiskey undergoes triple distillation in unique copper pot stills designed to promote reflux and create a smooth spirit.
• Cask Maturation: The core release is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels (approximately 39%) and Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks (approximately 61%). This dual maturation is key to its flavor profile.
• Non-Chill Filtered: The whiskey is bottled without chill-filtration to retain more of its natural oils and flavors.
• Natural Colour: The distillery emphasizes natural presentation.   
• ABV: Typically bottled at 46.3% ABV.   

Tasting Notes (based on various sources):

• Nose: Often described as having aromas of lime zest, chopped mint, and sweet pear. You might also find notes of vanilla, toffee, homemade apple pie, toasted almonds, and a prickling of aromatic spice like anise, clove, and nutmeg. There can also be a hint of sherried dried fruit and a malty sweetness.   
• Palate: The palate typically offers a creamy and mellow texture with flavors of caramelized apple, raisins, and vanilla. You might also encounter notes of orange chocolate, espresso, apricots, and some black pepper. Hints of rhubarb crumble, black fruit, red wine, black tea, acacia honey, and leather can also develop. Some detect a touch of youthful spice and a light smokiness from the oak bourbon barrels.   
• Finish: The finish is generally long with a honeyed sweetness and mixed spice that lingers. You might also find notes of dried fruit, mild pepper, toffee, bread, and a slight bitterness with woodiness in the aftertaste.   

Overall Impression:

The Dingle Single Malt is a well-regarded Irish whiskey that beautifully marries the smoothness of triple distillation with the complexity derived from bourbon and PX sherry cask maturation. It offers a balanced profile with a delightful interplay of fruit, spice, and sweetness, making it enjoyable neat, with a little water, or in refined cocktails. It showcases the distillery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.   

Awards:

Dingle Distillery and its whiskies, including the Single Malt, have received numerous awards, highlighting their quality:   

• Gold Medal: Irish Whiskey Awards (various years).
• Silver Medal: San Francisco World Spirits Competition (various years).
• Bronze Medal: World Whiskies Awards.   
• "Whiskey of the Year" at the London Spirits Competition for their Fourth Single Pot Still Release indicates the high regard for Dingle's overall quality.   

The Dingle Single Malt is considered a significant release for the distillery as their core expression and has been well-received by critics and enthusiasts alike.
