About This Product

Dunville’s 21 Year Old Palo Cortado is a full-bodied Irish single malt with an oily texture and layers of mature fruit, chocolate and spice. Its sherry-cask finish brings together stewed plums, toasted almonds and candied orange, with the comforting richness of panettone and bread-and-butter pudding.

Figs, dates and sweet tobacco add depth beneath the brighter fruit notes. This is an appealing choice for drinkers who enjoy mature, sherry-influenced whiskey with substantial texture, warming spice and enough complexity to explore slowly over an evening.

Tasting Notes

Full-bodied and oily, with rich fruit, chocolate, sweet bread and warming winter spice.

Nose: Apricots in syrup, stewed plums and raisins combine with dark chocolate. The aromas balance sweet fruit with deeper, richer notes.

Palate: Dark stone fruits and ripe plum skins meet toasted almonds and chocolate. Panettone and bread-and-butter pudding bring a generous sweetness, layered with ginger, candied orange, figs and dates. Oak and sweet tobacco add mature depth.

Finish: Long and layered, revisiting the fruit, nuts and spice of the palate. The rich flavours gradually settle into a warming, lingering close.

Cask & Maturation

Bourbon-cask maturation is followed by a finishing period in Palo Cortado sherry casks, bringing depth to the mature single malt. The finished whiskey combines stewed and dried fruits with toasted almonds, dark chocolate and candied orange. Ginger, oak and winter spices provide structure around the richer pudding-like sweetness, while the substantial, oily texture carries these flavours across the palate.

  • Initial maturation: Ex-bourbon casks.
  • Finishing casks: Palo Cortado sherry.
  • Fruit character: Stewed plums, figs, dates and candied orange.
  • Supporting flavours: Toasted almonds, chocolate and warming spice.

How to Enjoy
  • Start neat: Serve at room temperature in a tulip-shaped whiskey glass to explore the aromas and oily texture.
  • Give it time: Leave the glass for a few minutes, then return to compare how the aromas develop.
  • Add water gradually: Try a few drops and taste again before adjusting further.
  • Try over ice: Use one large cube in a tumbler if you prefer a cooler serve.
  • Pair with food: Try panettone, toasted almonds or dark chocolate with orange.

Storage: Keep upright, tightly closed and away from direct sunlight, heat and large temperature changes.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Dunville’s is one of the great names in Irish whiskey, with a history stretching back to 1808 in Belfast, where it was once among the most celebrated whiskey brands in the country. After disappearing for almost 80 years, the brand was brought back to life by Echlinville Distillery in County Down, with a real appreciation for its heritage and traditional craftsmanship. Known for its rich, smooth character, Dunville’s offers beautifully balanced whiskeys with notes of orchard fruits, vanilla, honey and warming spice. With over 200 years of history behind the name, Dunville’s is a wonderful example of Irish whiskey tradition finding a new lease of life.
