Exclusive Single Cask
Dunville’s Exclusive Single Cask Series features bespoke bottlings for key hospitality and retail venues within the Irish Whiskey industry. It showcases the best whiskeys from the Dunville’s Whiskey warehouses, with each bottled at its optimum strength for the best possible quality and flavour.
Cask 1782 has been carefully selected by David and Sean McElhone from Stitch & Weave alongside Dunville’s Irish Whiskey’s Séamus Óg Birt and Head Blender Niall Bolger.
Séamus Óg Birt from Dunville’s Irish Whiskey said “Having been involved in whiskey discussions with the McElhone family from before their bar had even opened and bearing witness to the launch and rise of the Stitch & Weave Whiskey Club over the past year, I cannot over emphasis how happy we are to collaborate with such a fitting partner for our latest single cask release.
“Their approach to the hospitality and whiskey offerings truly mirror the Dunville’s Irish Whiskey ethos of exceptional whiskey, made without compromise. Cask 1782 is a worthy addition to the Exclusive Single Cask Series and to the portfolio of one of Northern Ireland’s finest spirits purveyors.”

David McElhone from Stitch & Weave said: “We at Stitch & Weave are delighted to be releasing our first whiskey in collaboration with the award winning Dunvilles brand.
“We have always admired the great whiskeys the team at The Echlinville Distillery are releasing, especially the exclusive single cask releases, like our own.
“When we created Stitch & Weave Whiskey Club, we knew we wanted to bring something unique to the people of this beautiful city and we are extremely proud to release this very special whiskey to be appreciated by the whiskey lovers in the maiden city and beyond.”

Tasting Notes
Nose – Toffee Apples, freshly baked apple and berry tart, plum compote, almond brittle and warming autumnal spices.
Palate – Thick and syrupy, cacao nibs, stewed orchard fruits and vanilla custard develop into warm apple tatin, spiced with cinnamon and clove, and a rich caramel glaze
Finish – Long, lingering and warming, dried dates, chocolate figs, red apple skins and café mocha give way to sweet rolling tobacco, vintage leather and cedarwood tones, over crystallised ginger, white pepper and seasonal nutmeg.
