Samhain Dingle Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Dingle Single Malt Irish Whiskey Samhain is a limited-edition release from the Dingle Distillery, the first in their “Celtic Wheel of the Year Series.” This series celebrates the ancient Celtic festivals, with Samhain marking the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year – a precursor to what we now know as Halloween.

Key Features:

• Irish Origin: Distilled, matured, and bottled at the Dingle Distillery in County Kerry, Ireland.
• Single Malt: Made from 100% malted barley.
• Cask Maturation: Matured in first-fill bourbon casks before undergoing a long finish (approximately 2 years) in first-fill Muscatel casks.
• Limited Edition: The first of nine planned releases in the “Celtic Wheel of the Year Series,” making it a highly collectible item.
• ABV: Bottled at 50.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes (based on various sources):

• Nose: Offers warm floral notes, citrus, and cherry, with hints of vanilla and a malty sweetness.
• Palate: Zesty with notes of raisins, almonds, sweet spice (cinnamon), and raspberry. Some detect a creamy dairy fudge note.
• Finish: Long, with flavors of summer fruits, pepper, and lingering cinnamon spice. Some also note a hint of aniseed.

Overall Impression:

Dingle Samhain is a well-regarded and flavorful Irish single malt that showcases the influence of the Muscatel cask finish. It offers a pleasant combination of fruitiness, sweetness, and spice, with a noticeable but not overpowering wine influence. It’s considered a well-crafted and enjoyable whiskey, and a significant release as the first cask-finished expression from Dingle Distillery and the inaugural bottling in their “Wheel of the Year” series.
