Description
We wanted to bring the Dornoch Castle Whisky Bar experience to the comfort of your own home. We know it can be difficult to visit Dornoch, especially in the winter months, so we’ve decided to deliver the drams to your door!
We’ve bottled samples of some of the whiskies we enjoy in our bar, as well as those that have inspired us throughout our journey at Dornoch Distillery. We hope you love them, and we look forward to welcoming you to Dornoch Castle soon.
Cheers, Phil & Simon
John Jameson Irish Whiskey Bottled ~1930-40
12 Years Old
2CL | 40% ABV
ABV% is reading below 40% ~36% as expected on an older bottle
An exceedingly rare old Irish whiskey, this JJ&S 12 Year Old was likely bottled in the 1930s or early 1940s – meaning the spirit inside was most likely distilled in Dublin during the 1920s. It’s remarkable to think this whiskey was probably crafted just after the Irish War of Independence and Civil War – a true piece of whiskey history.
The bottle reads below 40% ABV, which is expected for something of this age, especially with a slight drop in fill level. The whiskey itself is light and delicate, offering notes of green malt and soft fruits. We recommend enjoying this sample soon to fully appreciate its subtle character.
These are 2cl samples, bottled by us in Dornoch in collaboration with the Dornoch Castle Hotel. These samples can be shipped with held bottles, or on their own – please contact us to arrange sample-only shipments – info@dornochdistillery.com
