Nearly a quarter of a century old, this one-off expression is a deservingly delicious winner of Best Irish Cask Strength Whiskey as well as the only single cask bottling of the Best Irish Single Malt 2026. The intensity of sticky date pudding, melted butter and ripe nectarine, brought together over time, hits that sweet spot at its natural cask strength of 54.7% ABV. With no chill filtration or coloured added, of course.

Going after the heart of tried-and-true world-class whiskymakers can’t go wrong – or so says Stephen Magennis from Dunville’s. “Glendronach, Glenfarclas and Glengoyne are all the whiskies we love to drink, so we want to aim for that style but with an Irish twist.”

ABV 54.7%
