Distillery: The Dingle Distillery

The sixth addition to the Wheel of the Years Series from Ireland’s Dingle distillery honours the ancient celebration of the spring equinox, Cónocht an Earraigh. This time of year, when night and day align and pastures begin to flourish is an ideal time for the Dingle master distiller to assess its casks and sample the whisky as it matures. This edition of the triple distilled Irish whiskey initially matured in bourbon casks before it was treated to a finish in Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks.

Palate: Dark treacle toffee and jammy red fruit pastries, softly sweet baking spice, charred oak, and gingerbread.

Finish: A sweet finish with rich vinous fruit and leathery oak.

Distillery Information

Dingle Distillery was really put on the map when its Dry Gin was named the World’s Best Gin at the 2019 World Gin Awards. But the Kerry-based is probably best known today as one of the leading new distilleries in the Irish whiskey boom. It’s one of the few in the category to only to produce expressions entirely with its own spirit. The process of creating its whisky involves long fermentations in wooden vessels that feed into the three bespoke copper pot stills, a 5,000-litre wash still and two progressively smaller spirit stills designed by John C. McDougall manual distillation. These ensure maximum copper contact so a bolder character is retained even after the classic Irish triple distillation, which typically makes a lighter, clean spirit. This spirit is filled into quality first-fill bourbon, Pedro Ximénez, oloroso, and Port casks sourced from tried and trusted cask brokers that master distiller Graham Coull (formerly of Glen Moray) knows from years of sourcing casks and building relationships.
