DINGLE DISTILLERY
Hand-made Character, Unique Whiskey
Dingle Distillery is one of Ireland’s newer but increasingly renowned whiskey distilleries. Located in Dingle, a picturesque town on the southwest coast of Ireland in County Kerry, it has quickly made a name for itself in the world of spirits since its establishment.
Dingle Distillery was founded in 2012 by Oliver Hughes, Liam LaHart, and Peter Mosley, the same team behind the Porterhouse Brewing Company. The distillery was part of the resurgence of Irish whiskey, which had seen a decline in the 20th century but has been experiencing a renaissance in recent years. The founders were passionate about creating a high-quality, artisanal product that would stand out in an increasingly crowded market.
Dingle Distillery’s Portfolio
Dingle Distillery produces a range of spirit, including a Vodka, Gin and their flag ship product of small batch Irish Whiskey. Their Vodka is premium and is known for it’s purity and smoothness. They achieve this high level of refinement this by distilling it five times. Their Gin has also gained high praise and popularity. Dingle Original Gin is crafted with a blend of botanicals, including rowan berries, fuchsia, bog myrtle, hawthorn, and heather, which give it a distinctive, local flavor.
However, their Whiskey is where their heart lies. Their whiskey embodies a blend of traditional techniques and innovative approaches. They use three copper pot stills to create a unique triple-distilled spirit, a hallmark of Irish whiskey that results in a smoother and more refined product. Their process involves small-batch production, allowing for greater control over quality and consistency. Dingle offers a variety of whiskeys, including single malt, single pot still, and blended options. Each type is distinct in flavor and character:
