Dingle Samhain Single Malt Whiskey

Irish Whiskey from the Dingle Distillery

The Dingle Whiskey Distillery is an independent family-owned business established In 2012, in County Kerry. The founders, Oliver Hughes, Liam LaHart and Peter Mosley had previously set up the Porterhouse Brewing Company and pioneered craft brewing in Ireland in 1996. Their first whiskey release was in 2015. Their Founding Fathers programme in the Dingle distillery, an innovation in the Irish market, gave whiskey lovers the opportunity to invest in the first 500 casks, with options in terms of cask type, sell-back, and maturation period, and each cask carried the investors name. They also produce gin and vodka under the Dingle brand.

The water used in distillation comes from their own well, pumped up from 70 metres below the distillery.

Dingle Samhain Single Malt Whiskey was the first release in a series of limited-edition whiskeys in the Celtic Wheel of the Year series. It was released in October 2022 coinciding with the beginning of winter and the Celtic new year.

It is matured in first fill bourbon casks and finished for two years in first fill Muscatel casks. It is non chill filtered, with no colouring and is bottled at 50.5% ABV.
