TRIPLE DISTILLED IRISH WHISKEY
Based on a 19th century recipe passed down from the distiller’s great grandfather. This recipe was made in illicit stills in mountainy refuges, hidden in the Mourne Mountains. The still was finally uncovered by the excise men in 1878 and the recipe has lain dormant. Until now! It has been updated in terms of the casking policy, with a greater selection of oaks available than was the case 200 years ago! It is excellent both in a straight serve with ice/water or as a cocktail whiskey. Mourne Dew’s Irish Whiskey earned a Silver Medal at the London Spirits Competition. IRISH SINGLE MALT WHISKEY This Single Malt has been blended to the palate of our head distiller and blender. It is, in effect, the perfect Mourne Dew Single Malt Irish Whiskey! The result is a superbly smooth Single Malt whiskey. It is lightly peated, with a phenol count of approximately 8-10 ppm. An exceedingly elegant profile with deft application of peat. A highly fragrant nose, with floral, habanero, medicinal and sweet peat aromas, is concluded by a delicious, gentle, and long finish. Mourne Dew’s Irish Single Malt Whiskey earned an exceptional 95 Point Rating and a Gold Medal from IWSC. |
