There was a lot going on and plenty to pull out from this one.īoth were highly enjoyable single malts displaying differing flavours & influences from the woods matured in.
Sweet warming vanilla & caramel from the ex-bourbon casks mingled with darker fruits from the port interwoven with a gentle drying spice from the sherry. The nose was gentle & light – yet the palate opened up right from the start. A simple yet satisfying single malt.īatch 4 by comparison was more rounded – even cultured – with greater depth courtesy of the triple barrel ageing – bourbon, port & sherry. Not overly complex, it’s youth hadn’t developed hidden depths. It took a while for the wonderful port influence to make it’s presence known – but when it did – very rewarding. It is fully matured in port casks was all I could glean. Like having a tour round the fabulous – and extremely shiny – copper pot stills of Dingle Distillery itself.Īs well as tasting the latest Batch 4 release – along with a special Distillery Reserve.Īpart from the spartan label – I had limited time to ask questions. Attending the Irish Whiskey Awards 2019 has it’s attractions.
