Dunvilles 1808 CWS Sauternes Cask

Created exclusively for Celtic Whiskey Shop and launched at the prestigious Whiskey Live Dublin 2026, this limited-edition Irish whiskey showcases the elegance, complexity, and balance that can be achieved through expert blending and exceptional cask selection.

Crafted from a carefully balanced combination of pot still, grain, and malt whiskeys, this premium Irish whiskey has been matured in a Sauternes wine cask. The influence of this renowned French dessert wine cask imparts rich layers of sweetness and fruit while preserving the whiskey's natural character, structure, and depth.

Golden in colour and beautifully composed, the Sauternes cask maturation delivers notes of honey, ripe orchard fruits, and gentle spice, enhancing the whiskey's creamy texture and refined personality. The result is a smooth and approachable expression that highlights the versatility of contemporary Irish whiskey.

On the nose, vibrant citrus zest and crisp green apple are complemented by vanilla, floral honey, and subtle oak. The palate is luxuriously creamy, revealing layers of orchard fruits, malted shortbread, and digestive biscuit, before developing into soft spice and toasted malt. The finish is long, elegant, and gently sweet, leaving a lasting impression of the cask's rich dessert wine heritage.

This exclusive release is a superb example of Sauternes cask matured Irish whiskey, offering whiskey enthusiasts the opportunity to explore a unique style of cask influence rarely seen in Irish whiskey. Combining drinkability, complexity, and exceptional balance, it is a standout addition to any whiskey collection.
