Dunville’s Irish Whiskey has expanded its core range of Exceptional Sherry Cask Finishes with its most mature release yet: Dunville’s PX 23 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey.
This expression features a 23-year-old single malt, finished for almost six years in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry hogsheads. It is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV, marking the highest age statement in the brand’s permanent range.
According to Jarlath Watson, Head of Whiskey at Dunville’s:
“We are delighted to enhance our line-up with Dunville’s PX 23 Year Old – our biggest age statement to date.
This whiskey features all the signature PX notes that Dunville’s fans know well: roasted figs, stewed dates, chocolate, cinnamon, apple, and the signature candied orange note found across our PX finishes.
It joins our growing portfolio showcasing the flavour diversity of PX, Oloroso, and Palo Cortado cask finishes.”
Dunville’s PX 23 joins the core lineup alongside:
- PX 10 & 12 Year Olds
- 20 Year Old Oloroso Finish
- 10 & 21 Year Old Palo Cortado Finishes
The Dunville’s brand, once a global whiskey name in the 19th and early 20th centuries, was revived in 2012 by The Echlinville Distillery, bringing The Spirit of Belfast back to shelves after decades of absence.
Jarlath adds:
“When we revived Dunville’s, we took seriously the responsibility of restoring such a historic brand. PX 23 represents another step in that journey toward reestablishing Dunville’s among the world’s most respected Irish whiskeys.”
Dunville’s PX 23 Year Old Single Malt is available via specialist retailers and directly from The Echlinville Distillery shop, at an RRP of £245.
