A very intriguing release, with plenty of orchard fruit, custard and old fashioned sweetie notes. It was recently crowned Best Irish Single Malt Under 12 Years at the 2015 World Whiskies Awards.
Dunville's Three Crowns was an Irish whiskey produced by Dunville in Belfast years and years ago, though sadly the Dunville's brand was lost to the ravages of time in the 1930s.

Huzzah!

Hudson Baby Bourbon is the first legal pot-still whiskey to be produced in New York since prohibition! In the days before prohibition farm distillers could be found throughout the state of New York and Tuthilltown are doing their bit to put New York back on the whiskey map with this classic bourbon, full of caramel and sweet vanilla notes, it is made from 100% New York corn. Aged in tiny 2 gallon barrels, the spirit is 'sonically matured' with the help of bass speakers that agitate the cask and the liquid! Each bottle is then hand-filled, waxed and numbered, without the use of carbon or chill filtration. Gold Outstanding Medal - International Wine & Spirits Competition 2013
Jameson Signature Reserve Whiskey
Something Special is a blended Scotch whisky that has enjoyed a particularly dominant presence in South American countries. The blend’s fingerprint malt whisky came in from the Speyside distillery of Longmorn which played a pivotal role in its popularity as a luxury whisky during the early 20th century.
Powerful, fresh-clean and growing in complexity like a gathering storm. Sweet maltiness with ripe red berry fruit moves to smoke, brine and an explosion of pepper.
This perfectly-balanced Scottish single malt whisky was born in the Highlands of Scotland more than a century ago. It's created using fresh spring water from Speyside. And it's this soft water which gives our whisky its distinctive character and unique flavour. Pale gold with amber highlights and fresh, clean and aromatic with a rich lemony fruitiness. Medium-bodied with a delicate, fruity character with hints of toffee and butterscotch. A sweet long lasting finish.
The Balvenie DoubleWood is a 12 year old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two wood types. Over the period of maturation it is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt ~ the traditional casks soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.
