All time favorite Irish Whiskey
This is my favorite Irish Whiskey, and it has a very interesting history, tied strongly to the Protestant Scots-Irish (Ulster Scots) tradition of Northern Ireland, but loved by many across the island and beyond! The Scots influence is notable. James Craig was once the owner of “Royal Irish Distilleries,” and his son, Sir James Craig became the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. The symbols of the Royal tradition are beautifully incorporated into the bottle’s design, which is in itself an interesting conversation piece. I taste a little bit of oak, vanilla and apricot, with a very, very subtle hint of leather. It stays with you a little bit, with a really nice, warm finish. The original distillery closed in the early 19th century, and remaining bottles were highly sought after, so the new Echlinville Distillery revived the brand in 2012. I absolutely love this whiskey and am very grateful to have discovered it.

Arrived hot
To the good: Thank you, TBT for carrying Dunville’s. We just came back from Ireland, had it there, and wanted some at home to remember the trip by.
To the not so good: ups delivery came in hot. Literally. After signing for it, I opened the package to find the bottle was extremely warm to the touch. Yes it’s a summer day, but come on. It’s practically booze abuse. You guys can do better.
