Dingle Distillery launch Dingle Samhain Single Malt
Dingle Distillery proudly unveils Dingle Samhain Single Malt Whiskey, the inaugural bottling in its Wheel of the Year series. Launching October 31, 2022, this limited-edition release immerses you in the spirit of Samhain—the ancient Celtic new year and gateway to winter.
First, we aged the spirit for three years in first-fill bourbon barrels. Next, we transferred it into first-fill Muscatel casks for a two-year finish that layers rich dried fruit and spice. Bottled at a robust 50.5% ABV, only 10,000 numbered bottles will reach discerning Irish whiskey fans worldwide.
Moreover, Dingle Distillery balances tradition with innovation. While Samhain bonfires once marked seasonal transition, our Samhain Single Malt sparks its own flame with luxuriant aroma and depth. Additionally, it captures harvest-fresh barley’s sweetness, a nod to Ireland’s agrarian roots.


Elliot Hughes, Managing Director at Dingle Distillery, explains:
“We drew inspiration from Ireland’s Samhain rituals—fire, feasting and renewal—to craft this whiskey. As the first expression in our Wheel of the Year series, it honors centuries-old customs while charting a bold new course. We invite collectors and connoisseurs alike to raise a glass to heritage reborn.”
The Celtic Wheel of the Year is divided into eight periods.
Looking ahead, the Wheel of the Year series will follow every major festival—Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and beyond—mirroring the earth’s seasonal rhythm. Consequently, each future edition will arrive in harmony with the solstices and equinoxes, offering a full cycle of eight unique whiskeys.
Finally, secure your Dingle Samhain Single Malt on October 31. Whether you commemorate ancient lore or simply seek an exceptional pour, this whiskey delivers a taste both timeless and thrilling.
