Echlinville The Beginning No Box 2 X 50cl
2 x 50cl
Discover the essence of Echlinville with this special two-bottle release featuring the Echlinville Single Malt and Echlinville Single Pot Still Irish Whiskeys. Both expressions are 7 years old, double distilled, and showcase the distillery’s true character and craftsmanship. Each whiskey is made entirely on Echlinville’s farm on the Ards Peninsula, County Down - from grain to glass. The barley is grown, harvested, floor malted, mashed, distilled, matured, blended, and bottled all on-site, making this a truly single estate Irish whiskey experience.
Echlinville Single Malt Irish Whiskey (7 Years Old)
Matured in Bourbon and Virgin American Oak casks, this full-bodied whiskey opens with soft orchard fruits, fresh citrus, and wild meadow honey. Flavours of peach, blood orange, and red berries follow, layered with latte coffee, chocolate, and salted almonds. The finish lingers with notes of cedar, clove, tobacco, ginger, and cinnamon spice.
Echlinville Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey (7 Years Old)
Aged in Bourbon casks, this expression delivers the classic body and spice of Pot Still whiskey. Expect aromas of sweet vanilla cream soda, kiwi, papaya, and fragrant pine. The palate brings toasted almonds, ginger, and warming white pepper, all wrapped in a luxuriously creamy texture.
This exclusive two-bottle set does not include a presentation box.

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
