The Dingle Celt

The Dingle Celt is an extremely rare bottling from a single cask of Dingle Single Malt. Situated on the shores of Dingle Bay, County Kerry, Dingle distillery produces some of the most sought after Irish Whiskey. The whiskey is triple distilled, unpeated single malt that was fully mature in a 50 litre Chestnut Caratelli that previously aged Vin Santo dessert wine from Altesino, who are one of Italy's finest estates. The Dingle Celt Irish Whiskey was distilled at the Dingle distillery on 23rd May 2015 and bottled by Celtic Whiskey at cask strength on 6th December 2018. We think this whiskey is outstanding despite its youth and shows the immense potential of future Dingle whiskey bottlings.

There were only 18 bottles ever released of the Dingle Celt, 15 bottles were sold on Celtic Whiskey Auction, 2 bottles are available by the measure at the Celtic Whiskey Bar & this is the last remaining bottle here. Please note that the bottle available is number 16.

FAQs

How to drink Irish Whiskey?

Irish whiskey is most honestly assessed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, where the full aromatic profile can develop. Adding a few drops of room temperature water to a pot still or single malt expression above 46% ABV opens the ester character and integrates the oak. Over a large ice sphere it becomes a more contemplative drink that evolves as the temperature rises. Avoid adding ice to aged or premium expressions: the cold contracts the spirit and suppresses the complexity you paid for.

Is Irish whiskey gluten free?

Yes. Irish whiskey is distilled from a grain mash, typically malted barley with or without unmalted barley, grain, or corn, and the distillation process removes gluten proteins to below detectable levels. All major Irish whiskey producers including Irish Distillers, Midleton, Teeling, and Bushmills consider their products gluten free under current food safety standards. Individuals with clinically confirmed coeliac disease should consult their medical advisor before consuming any grain distilled spirit.

What is a good Irish whiskey?

The most consistently excellent Irish whiskeys across price points are Redbreast 12 Year Old as the benchmark single pot still, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old for sherry cask complexity, Midleton Very Rare for aged prestige, and Teeling Single Grain as an underrated value option. For under €40, Powers Gold Label and Jameson 18 Year Old represent excellent value for their respective categories. The single pot still style using both malted and unmalted barley is Ireland's most distinctive and most rewarding contribution to world whiskey.

What is Irish whiskey?

Irish whiskey is a legally defined spirit produced on the island of Ireland from a yeast fermented grain mash, distilled to under 94.8% ABV, and matured for a minimum of three years in wooden casks on the island of Ireland. The five recognised styles are single malt, single grain, single pot still, blended, and blended malt. Triple distillation, used by the majority of Irish producers, and the use of a proportion of unmalted barley in the single pot still style are the defining technical characteristics of the category.
