Top 5 Spirits To Drink This Summer

A Zesty Spin On Irish Whiskey

Dingle Distillery’s hugely anticipated Core Single Malt drop was a smash hit upon it’s release out into the Irish Whiskey market.

This Core Single Malt release was years in the making and is comprised of malt whiskey that has been matured in ex-Bourbon, and PX sherry casks. 39% Bourbon, 61% PX Sherry. 

Bottled at 46.3% and non-chill filtered, this is a very interesting whiskey in which the component casks come to the fore at different stages. At the humble price of 55.00 euro RRP, this whiskey is high-end, without breaking the bank. If you enjoy a bit of zest, expertly layered on top of vanilla!

An Irishmalts Exclusive

Did you know that any pruchase of a Clonakilty whiskey will get you automatically entered into a drawing to win 2 tickets to a Clonakility Distillery tour – on us? Well, now you know! The Irishmalts staff are proud to partner with Clonakilty Distillery to also bring you this exclusive release Single Cask Cognac finished Cask Strength whiskey bottled at 55.8% ABV which yielded 265 bottles.

This is a premium blend of 2008 malt and 2010 grain, originally aged in bourbon before spending 22 months in a cognac cask. We don’t think this one will last too long!

A Gin Classic

A classic Irish gin that grows in stature year on year from one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland situated on the Wild Atlantic Way in Dingle, County Kerry.

Made with water from the distillery’s own well and infused with local botanicals such as rowan berries from the mountain ash trees, fuchsia, bog myrtle, heather and hawthorn, it’s a true taste of the Kerry landscape.

We can’t think of a reason not to try this drink! Not only is it great for adding to any gin cocktail, but it is smooth enough to drink straight or with a bit of ice too. 

A Traditional Irish Whiskey

If you want to score points with your whiskey obsessed friends at the BBQ, grab yourself a bottle of Drumshanbo’s Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.

Triple Distilled at The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney, Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim. This single batch whiskey has stayed true to Irish whiskey making traditions.

Distilled with Malted Irish Barley, Un-malted Irish Barley & Irish Barra Oats. Un-malted barley imparts a silky mouthfeel when combined with Barra Oats creates an intriguing creaminess & spiciness to the finish that truly sets this Irish whiskey apart.

Something A Bit Different

The Kinsale Hazy Summer Mead (11% ABV) is a fabulous, fruity, off-dry berry mead with generous strawberry and raspberry aromas, a lovely burst of summer berries and a smooth, subtle honey finish.

Perfect served lightly chilled on its own or in a sharing jug with ice and frozen berries. Like a glass of summer in any weather. This deliciously light and fruity melomel mead is a refreshing alternative to a light red or rosé wine. It is fermented from pure honey muddled with a tumble of ripe summer berries with almost no sweetness. Popular with cocktail mixers and beer and gin drinkers.
