Dunvilles VR 18 Years Port Mourant Rum Cask Finish Gift Set

Dunville's VR 18 Years Port Mourant Rum Cask Finish is a cask strength Irish single malt from the Echlinville Distillery in County Down. After 18 years of maturation, the whiskey was finished in casks from the Port Mourant estate in Guyana that had previously held a 41-year-old Demerara rum, and it is bottled at 56.9% ABV in a gift set.

The nose balances molasses and sweet barley with toffee apple, poached pear, cinnamon and creamy vanilla custard. On the palate, dark muscovado sugar and sweet vanilla lead into stewed fruit and marmalade, before the rum casks take over with notes of crème brûlée, banana bread and rum-soaked ice cream, rounded off by oak spice. A rich, layered dram best enjoyed neat, with a drop of water to open it up if preferred.
