Dingle Lunasa Single Malt Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Adaobi Eze — Proper Celtic heat

8/10

At 50.5% this has real backbone — honey, orchard fruit and a peppery kick that lingers. I drink most Irish malts neat and this one rewards patience; give it ten minutes in the glass and it opens right up. Dingle are doing serious work down in Kerry.

Isabella Rossi — Handles water beautifully

8/10

I always try Irish single malts at cask strength first, and at 50.5% the Lunasa carries its weight well without being hot. Added a splash of water and got waves of citrus peel and brown sugar. Really well balanced and I've already gone through half the bottle faster than I'd planned.

Elena Vasquez — Lunasa is a stunner

9/10

This might be the best thing Dingle have released. Rich dried fruit and vanilla on the nose, then toasted oak and a long warming finish thanks to that 50.5% ABV. I added a few drops of water and got even more butterscotch coming through. Genuinely impressive single malt.

Gianluca Ferro — Good not great

7/10

Picked this up expecting fireworks given the hype around Dingle lately. It's a competent single malt — some tropical fruit, biscuity malt, mild spice — but the finish drops off quicker than I'd like. Perfectly enjoyable neat on a weeknight, just didn't blow me away.

Erik Strom — Nice but pricey for what it is

7/10

Lovely whiskey, don't get me wrong — baked apple, a touch of malt and some gentle spice on the finish. But at nearly £94 I keep comparing it to what else I could grab at that price point. A solid dram, just not a no-brainer purchase for me.

Marianne Blom — Expected more for the money

6/10

Decent whiskey but I struggled to find what justifies the £94 price tag. The nose is pleasant enough — some caramel and light fruit — but the palate felt a bit thin compared to other Irish single malts I've had at this level. Not bad by any means, just didn't connect with me the way I hoped.
