Dunphy's is an Irish blend made by Midleton, originally for the US market, but now available on this side of the pond.

An easy going and easy on the pocket whiskey from Midleton distillery. Dunphy's was first produced back in the 1950s for the US market, with mixing and Irish coffee very much in mind. It was available there up to around 1988 but now is mostly confined to Ireland.

Dunphy's Whiskey Tasting Notes

Creamy vanilla and chocolate digestive biscuits, with a clean, vegetal edge to it.

Finish

The warming, Christmas-y spices stick around on the finish.

Palate

Continued creaminess, before developing spicier hints along the way.

Recommended For You

Senator's Club Bourbon

Senator's Club Blended Whiskey is an extra smooth blended whiskey. As with other blended whiskeys, this variety is straight whiskey blended with neutral spirits to create a more neutral whiskey. With no aroma or flavor being too overpowering, this extra smooth blended whiskey has malleable qualities that make it ideal for mixing. Use it to make your favorite cocktails or mixed drinks that allow the other flavors to shine through.

Imperial 12 Year Scotch

Imperial is a Scotch whisky distilled from the finest malted barley and Scottish water. The elixir is renowned for its authentic, complex, yet smooth flavours

Suntory Royal Whisky

Suntory Royal blended whisky was first introduced in 1960 to mark the company's 60th anniversary. Light and easy to drink, this is a superb entry-level Japanese whisky.

Dimple Scotch

Long before David Beckham and Haig Club, there was Dimple Haig. Launched at the end of the 19th century, it became the deluxe, sophisticated brother to the standard Haig & Haig blend, while in the US it has long been known as Dimple Pinch. Whether the name inspired the bottle or vice versa is unclear, but Dimple has always been packaged in a distinctive lozenge-shaped bottle with pinched sides like a collapsed pot still. Of the various expressions over time, the 15-year-old has a caramel sweetness, a touch of spice, some vanilla oak and no discernible smoke.

Grant's Ale Cask Scotch

"Our Ale Cask is the only Scotch to be finished in barrels that once held ale, giving it an irresistible creamy maltiness. To those who brewed the beer and built the barrels, we say #IOU. We wouldn’t have this amazing dram without you. Not only perfect for bringing to friend’s houses for big sporting occasions, like the boules championships, but also great for saying ‘cheers for teaching me to dance’ or ‘thanks for lending me your horse.’"

William Peel Scotch

It is the encounter between malt and grain whiskies aged in oak casks lovingly selected and blended with precise expertise that gives it its unique character: rounded and perfectly balanced with generous notes of malt and fruits. Our range of formats means that there is a WILLIAM PEEL whisky for every occasion.

Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Another reliable release from Jim Beam, which according to the company, has been distilled in a pre-Prohibition style. As most Rye whiskeys, this one isn’t afraid to make its presence known on your taste buds. Rye whiskeys have notoriously been considered as a whiskey thatis ‘not for everyone’, and the Jim Beam Rye falls comfortably under that description. For the ones who love it, there could be nothing better but for the ones that don’t like it, they might never really develop an affinity for it.

Glenmorangie Malt Scotch

Glenmorangie, although its name sounds like a typical Speyside Scotch whisky, belongs to the Highlands region. It is one of the most famous and successful single malts whisky from the Highlands region, both critically and commercially. The name ‘Glenmorangie’ roughly translates to the ‘valley of tranquillity’, or the ‘valley of big meadows’.

Teachers 50 Scotch Whisky

An iconic blended Scotch whisky from Glasgow, Teacher’s is a drink from the East Highlands, a region of Scotland famous for retaining smoky characteristics in their whiskies. Sourcing their single malts from Ardmore, Teachers is a brand with a significant portion of history behind their products and the years are reflected in their fine blends. Although the standard expression from the house of Teachers is the Teachers Highland Cream, the Teachers 50, released in honor of India’s 50th Independence Day contains a unique blend of single malt and grain whiskies that is hard to come by. The foundations for the Teachers brand were laid by William Teacher in the 1830s, capitalizing on the newly passed Excise Act of 1823. He procured a license to sell whisky and began running a ‘dram shop’ where whisky lovers would stop by and feast on drams of their favorite whisky. Years later, when the Spirits Act of 1860 further allowed more freedom for sellers to mix and create whisky blends of their own, William Teacher put his expertise to good use by experimenting with a number of blends. The Teachers Highland Cream came into being during this time when William Teacher was positively satisfied with a peaty drink with a high malt content, a drink with a complex and rich flavor that made him considering naming it after his own family name. After he laid the foundations for the Teachers brand and created the quintessential Teachers Highland Cream blend, William Teacher passed away in 1876, leaving the responsibility and the Teachers’ brand into the hands of his son, William Junior, and his younger brother, Adam. A rampant growth under the authority of William Junior and Adam Teacher saw increased sales and profit, the purchase of new land in 1895 with the purpose of building a new distillery of their own in Aberdeenshire in 1897. Adam died a year later without witnessing the completion of his plans although by then, the Teachers brand was well on its way towards glory. Surviving Prohibition, and a decline in the number of operational distilleries in Scotland, while also scripting victories by beginning to export Teachers to the United States and the acquisition of the Glendronach Distillery defined the later years for the brand. Fast forward to 1997, the brand released the Teachers 50, a 12-year-old blended whisky that commemorated 50 years of Indian Independence, strengthening their positioning in one of the world’s most prolific whisky drinking nations.
