THE NAME 1808 PAYS HOMAGE TO THE YEAR DUNVILLE’S IRISH WHISKEY WAS FOUNDED IN BELFAST, FROM WHERE IT WENT ON TO BECOME ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS WHISKEYS.
A blend of malt, grain and pot still whiskeys. Strong and uncompromised, bold and confident, charming and honest like the city of its birth.
Nose:
Initial burst of sweet vanilla leads to crisp orchard fruits, apples and pears. Then lemon curd, leading on to candied Lemon peel over notes of clean malt.
Palate:
Soft and creamy mouthfeel, buttery, with ripened citrus and baked biscuit, coming together in a burst of fresh lemon meringue, followed by a wisp of char and white pepper.
Finish:
Slight hints of dry smoke linger and intertwine with the juicier fruit notes, carrying through to a finish of sweet spice.
