DINGLE GRAINSTAD AN GHEIMHRIDH 50.5% 700ML SINGLE MALT IRISH WHISKEY

The 5th in the Wheel of the Years Series this release honours the ancient Celtic celebration of Grianstad an Gheimhridh, the winter solstice. Grianstad translates to ‘the stopping of the sun’, and Dingle Grianstad an Gheimhridh Single Malt is a testament to a time of year that is all about the dark of night drawing in. Distilled with precision and care, Grainstad an Gheimhridh offers a palate of unparalleled depth and complexity. With aromas of rich malt and dried fruits, and flavors of toasted oak, caramel, and baking spices, it delivers a smooth and satisfying taste experience.-Distiller Notes Dingle Distillery has rekindled the tradition of independent distilling in Ireland. Two hundred years ago, Ireland had over a hundred officially recognized distilleries; by the turn of this century there were two. When Dingle Distillery launched in 2012, it was the first purpose built privately owned distillery to open in over 150 years in Ireland, it represented a milestone in the history of distilling in Ireland. Dingle Distillery is the only distillery in Ireland at present that exclusively produces and bottles its own whiskey. The Dingle Whiskey Distillery is not in the business of creating megabrands, the approach is essentially artisan. Dingle Distillery marries casks, it doesn’t blend! It sources its grain from over 50 farms across Ireland to help ensure consistency in distillation, and is one of only 2 distilleries in Ireland at present that uses timber wash-backs and fermentation tank. Dingle Distillery casks into over 20 cask types. The unique Dingle Whiskey continually matures in the mild, moist climate of Ireland’s South-West coast and the first spirits are bottled into a magnificent single malt whiskey. In addition to Dingle Whisky, you can also enjoy the fruits of their labor in the form of Dingle Original Gin and Dingle Artisan Vodka.-Distillery Notes About Dingle Distillery The Dingle Whiskey Distillery is not in the business of creating megabrands, nor do we distil for anyone else. Our scale is modest, our approach to what we make is essentially artisan and we have rekindled the tradition of independent distilling in Ireland. Two hundred years ago, this small island had over a hundred officially recognised distilleries; by the turn of this century there were two. When the first spirit trickled from the stills here in November 2012 it represented a milestone in the history of distilling in Ireland.
