Rest of the WorldDingle Distillery Unveils Rum Barrels for Unique Whisky Maturation
Are you looking for a special barrel to mature your whisky with a tropical twist? Dingle Distillery from Ireland now offers ex-rum barrels through its latest Cask Program—an exciting opportunity for whisky makers who want to add a hint of Caribbean influence to their creations.
About Dingle Distillery
Based in the charming town of Dingle on Ireland’s rugged west coast, Dingle Distillery was founded in 2012 as a true craft distillery. Known for its hands-on approach and innovative spirit, Dingle quickly earned a reputation for producing exceptional whiskies in small batches. The distillery experiments with more than 20 different barrel types each year—from PX Sherry and Cognac barrels to, now, rum barrels—giving every whisky a unique character.
A Bold New Flavor Adventure
The introduction of ex-rum barrels comes as part of Dingle’s 2025 Cask Program. The distillery explains this new chapter of innovation:
“This month we proudly introduce our first limited edition ex-rum barrels (200L). Inspired by adventure and Caribbean influences, these barrels add a lively twist to our renowned range of exceptional whiskies.”
Rum, traditionally made from molasses, lends deep, complex sweetness to whisky when used for maturation. This unique finishing process creates flavors that set these whiskies apart—delivering an exotic, tropical nuance that you won’t find in barrels that previously held tequila or wine.
