DUNVILLE'S 1808 BLENDED IRISH WHISKEY

Finish: Slight hints of dry smoke linger and intertwine with the juicier fruit notes, carrying through to a finish of sweet spice.

Serve: Dunville’s 1808 tastes great the traditional way – neat or in the company of a pint. But it’s equally good in a classic cocktail or served long with ginger ale and a wedge of lime.

DUNVILLE'S THREE CROWNS PEATED IRISH WHISKEY

R989,00
