Round 3:
IWS Dunville’s 12 YO Moscatel
This is now our third and last round of subscriptions for the IWS Dunville's 12 Yo Moscatel whiskey. We will open the sale on Friday 1st of December at 7 pm. In this round eligible members can buy up to 3 bottles. The subscription will be €120 which will include postage and packaging, with the bottle being shipped directly to you on the island of Ireland. Those further afield will have higher shipping prices depending on location.The free membership bonus applies to the first bottle only. To avoid ‘bottle flipping’ Society subscription bottles may not be sold by members to third parties (e.g. auction sites) for a period of three years after receipt. Records of bottle numbers are maintained for this reason. In addition to this fantastic whiskey, the subscription will also include 6 months IWS membership for free. As the liquid is still in the cask and we are in the process of bottling we cannot estimate when the bottles will be delivered. We are trying to expedite the process and have it completed as soon as possible but there have been a number of supply chain issues that are causing ongoing setbacks. Rather than delay the release any further, we wanted to announce so that you would know what to look forward to. We will keep you informed whenever we have updates on estimated delivery dates and we can guarantee that it will be worth the wait! Payment through the website is the one, singular, unique, solitary and only way for members to subscribe to this bottling.
