BlogDunville’s Irish Whiskey is delighted to introduce three new additions to the multi-award-winning range of single malt whiskeys.

Dunville’s 10 Year Old Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish, Dunville’s 20 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish, and Dunville’s 21 Year Old Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish join the Spirit of Belfast’s core line up alongside the existing 10 and 12 Year Old PX Sherry Cask Finish whiskeys.
Each of the new releases are bottled non-chill filtered at 46% abv. All are available to purchase at specialist retailers throughout Ireland and in-store and online at The Echlinville Distillery Shop
Jarlath Watson from Dunville’s Irish Whiskey said. “We are delighted to enhance our current core offering to include these three wonderful whiskeys. Since the revival of the the Spirit of Belfast in 2012, Dunville’s has continued to grow in both popularity and stature, with the Dunville’s name once more synonymous with exceptional sherry finished whiskeys. We are particularly pleased to introduce the older expressions into our range, with the 20 year old Oloroso and 21 year old Palo Cortado representing our oldest core releases to date.
“These new releases further build upon the Dunville’s repertoire for award winning Single Malts and Blends, with the new 20 Year Old Oloroso Sherry expression recently winning ‘Best Single Malt 16 Years and Older’ at the Irish Whiskey Awards, one of seven awards Echlinville picked up on the night.
“Perfectly showcasing the nuanced variance in flavour profiles imparted by the different types of sherry casks, these whiskeys perfectly highlight the Dunville’s ethos of making whiskey without compromise.”
Dunville’s 10 Year Old Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt
£69.95 46% abv
Light tropical notes, dried mango, apricots and stewed orchard fruits give way to toasted almonds, mocha coffee and banana bread. Then the Palo Cortado sherry casks make their quality known, with darker stone fruits, sultanas, figs and stewed plums, with a medium dryness and light hints of nutmeg and clove.
Dunville’s 20 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt
£189.95 46% abv
Irish Whiskey Awards 2022 – Best Irish Single Malt 16 Years and Older – Winner.
The quality of the Oloroso casks takes centre stage. Balanced and complex, viscous, well-structured and restrained. Fresh red fruits give way to darker stewed fruits, prunes, dates and raisins. Candied orange peel, warm spiced ginger cake, toasted nuts, lead to a long mellowing finish of mulled fruits and vanilla chantilly cream.
Dunville’s 21 Year Old Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt
£194.95 46% abv
Full bodied, oily, and eloquent. The initial lighter fruits quickly give way to layers of stewed fruits, dark stone fruits, over ripe plum skins, with dark chocolate and toasted almonds. Layers of warm panettone bread and butter pudding, spiced with ginger and drizzled in candied orange syrup, figs, dates and a hint of oak all marry harmoniously over sublime aged base notes of sweet tobacco and warming winter spices.
