Dingle Vodka (75cl, 40%)

A quintuple-distilled Irish vodka from Dingle Distillery in County Kerry, bottled at 40% ABV. A pure grain spirit is distilled four times through column stills, then receives a fifth distillation in a 500-litre copper pot still named Oisin, before charcoal filtration and cutting with water from a well 240 feet beneath the distillery. The nose is clean and neutral, with gentle sweet fruit, a wisp of earthy vanilla and a faint herbal quality. The palate is strikingly smooth and creamy, with subtle sweetness, white pepper and a trace of aniseed, and the finish is medium, sweet and creamy with lingering vanilla and soft spice.
