Dingle Distillery

The distillery started producing whiskey a decade ago, but is now focusing on its vodka. They recently released a limited edition of their single malt Irish whisky, and have produced a variety of unique Irish food gifts.
A new product has been introduced for Christmas this year. Dingle Distillery has partnered with Scottish giftware company Angels’ Share Glass to create a series of clear baubles. Each one holds 50ml of Dingle Single Malt whiskey.
