IWS Dingle's "Decade of Dingle" Subscription
The story of the Irish Whiskey Society in Dingle began on April 5, 2013, with the very first tasting held in the legendary Dick Mack's Pub. This sold-out event was a landmark occasion, featuring the first public launch of the Teeling 21 year old Silver Reserve in the line-up. Two further annual tastings followed in the subsequent years, laying the foundation for something greater.
In 2016, following consultation with the main society committee, Peter White volunteered to establish a local chapter. Alongside Finn MacDonnell, the new venture was successfully launched. While there were some very lean periods in the early days, the dedication of the Dingle community has led to the vibrant success we celebrate today, with a stable membership of around 50 devoted enthusiasts enjoying monthly tastings.
It is with great pleasure that the society committee, in collaboration with local members Peter White, Finn Mac Donnell, Barry Rogers & Debbi Lewang, announce a 10-year commemorative bottle to celebrate this remarkable occasion: The Dingle Chapter Decade Blend.
A Truly Unique Dingle-Inspired Release
This bottle is a very unique offering from Echlinville distillery who have been exceptionally kind in facilitating us on this occasion. This whiskey, with a real Dingle twist is one of two identical high malt blends of 5 year old grain and malt whiskey, placed in 2 bourbon casks (the first of which became the first of the new Casked in Bond 1808 series in 2024) which held an exclusive one off Dick Macks Honey & Hemp IPA for over 5 years, thus making this whiskey just over 10 years old.
This commemorative bottle will be available exclusively to current Irish Whiskey Society members as a heartfelt thank you for your support and dedication over the past decade. Round 1 of subscriptions opens on our website at 7:00pm on Monday 1st December.
If there are any bottles remaining, we will open a second round of subscriptions on Monday 8th of December at 7:00 pm. Depending on availability, members may be able to secure a second (or possibly third) bottle at that time.
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.
Payment through the website is the one and only way for members to subscribe to this bottling. Once you are fully paid up & member at the time of 01/05/2025, you have acquired the right to subscribe to one "Decade of Dingle" bottle.
