Dingle2020

A 5-year-old Irish single pot still whiskey from Dingle, bottled for The Whisky Exchange from a single Palo Cortado cask at cask strength. Single pot still whiskey is made with a mash of malted and unmalted barley, a style known for combining creamy texture with a lively, spicy character.

The Palo Cortado cask suggests a sherry-seasoned influence, likely adding layers of dried fruit, nuttiness and oak spice to the spirit. At 59.6% ABV, this is a full-strength release that may benefit from a little water to open up its aromas and soften the palate.
