It will be available from 7pm on Friday 1 November, exclusively from Madden’s Bar on Berry Street, Belfast, priced £55. There is also the opportunity to purchase along with a limited edition Dunville’s and Madden’s Bar hipflask for a combined price of £65.

Casked In Bond features our popular Dunville’s 1808 blend with a variety of experimental cask finishes, with each release bottled exclusively for one of our valued partners within the Irish Whiskey industry.
“Dunville’s Whiskey has adorned the shelves of Belfast bars for more than 200 years, and so we are delighted to partner with Madden’s Bar, who truly champion the traditional Belfast pub culture.

Nose – Fresh citrus fruit salad, apricot, pineapple, lychee, pomegranate, orange zest and freshly cut apples give way to Halloween toffee apples, pear drops, wild meadow honey and warming nutmeg
Palate – Creamy, balanced and rich, the toffee apple note develops into spiced apple crumble, Chantilly cream, salted almonds, cardamon, and just a hint of fresh cut green herbs.
Finish – It’s all about those applewood rye casks. Red apples, apple sours, red currents, vanilla pods, and muscovado sugar, give way to gorgeous warming cinnamon and gentle rye spice.
