Dunvilles Three Crowns Peated Irish Whiskey, 70cl ABV 43.5%

Three Crowns. A peated vintage blend of selected aged malt and grain whiskeys with a subtle wisp of smoke. Ireland’s Best Blended Whiskey, World Whiskies Awards 2019. Enjoy neat. Nose: The lightest imaginable phenol drifts over the nose like glider over the Antrim coast. Quiet and barely noticeable unless you look for it, but what it surveys is rather beautiful. Palate: Stunning texture – a mix of light ulmo honey and mocha makes for the friendliest and most beautiful delivery and follow through. The deft smoke drifts about without portfolio. Finish: Long, slightly fruity now, with a lovely balance of stone fruits and sherry influence, which linger delightfully before finally giving way to rich mocha and that wonderful final kiss of smoke.
