Well as you can imagine it took me a couple of milliseconds to reply, a few days later 25 of us received a lovely packaged bottle in the post.
Omar @thatsdramgood was talking about the @Echlinville distillery in Northern Ireland and their @DunvilleWhiskey 12yo PX finished dram which by coincidence I'd tried for the first time a few weeks earlier - you can read my review here.
Although Echlinville is a field to glass distillery, they didn't start distilling until 2013 so this would be bought in stock, probably from Cooley - but they won't tell us, matured on site since 2013.
The 12yo PX has been matured for ten years in ex-bourbon casks before being finished for two years PX Sherry casks. Then it's normally diluted to 46% for bottling, but in this case we were trying the cask strength version which came in at 57% ABV.
At the agreed time...
...we all got our samples prepared...
...some in slightly more unconventional ways!
The colour was fantastic...
On the nose...
Finish...
Many thanks to Omar for organising, the distillery for the sample and my fellow tweeters for a really enjoyable #FridayNightDram

How can it be distilled there when they didn’t start distilled until 2013?
Very good point, thanks - blog updated accordingly!
