THE TASTE OF POWER
KOUDETA WHISKY
On the night of the 10th of November 1799, Lord William Philip I decided to create a whisky in order to celebrate the coup d’etat of the “18 Brumaire”, which had just given to the sovereign people of France the foundations of their Republic, an aspiration that had so far only lived within the hearts of the Republicans.
He named it KOUDETA. Thus was born the legend of this authentic Scotch Whisky, a delightful blend of the finest malts, fully matured in oak casks.
KOUDETA is an authentic Blended Scotch Whisky, elaborated and distilled in the region of Lanarkshire, south of Glasgow.
Made up of 15% malt and 85% wheat and rye harvested on clay soils, KOUDETA is aged for 3 years in oak casks previously used for the maturation of Bourbon, giving it a delicate aroma of vanilla and honey. The fine blending process allows it to conserve its subtle balance and the quality of its flavours.
When it is bottled, this Scotch Whisky has 45% alcohol. This is resolutely powerful and ensures in particular that the vanilla and honey aromas are preserved to make KOUDETA a whisky of great character.
Dingle Original Gin
Dingle Original Gin is the product of a considerable amount of research, both technical and historical, and experimentation. Our aim was to create a totally unique gin, one which worked within the great tradition of gin distilling but which also came with a degree of innovation.
In terms of its broad style, this is what is categorised as a London dry gin but the unique character and flavour come from our painstaking and original choice of botanicals.
This combination of flavour elements are macerated in spirit for 24 hours. Then, when the spirit is distilled, it passes through a flavour basket in the neck of the still. This process underlines the attention to detail that is an essential part of our whole approach to the art of distillation.
We use, amongst other botanicals, rowan berry from the mountain ash trees, fuchsia, bog myrtle, hawthorn and heather for a taste of the Kerry landscape. It’s a formula unknown elsewhere and is calculated, amongst other things, to create the sense of place and provenance. The spirit is collected at 70% abv and then cut to 42.5% abv using the purest of water which we draw from our own well, 240 feet below the distillery.
Peter Mosley sums up DOG’s unique character in a few words: “The uniquely Irish botanicals give a fabulously fresh, floral character that perfectly balances the traditional juniper. But, to be honest, you really have to taste it for yourself.”
Dingle Original Gin is best served with large cubes of ice, a wedge of fresh orange and a sprinkling of juniper berries.

Dingle Distillery Vodka
We believe that many famous vodkas are about branding over substance and we were determined to create a vodka of supreme quality without, at the same time, attaching a wildly inflated price tag to it.
Our still is charged with 500 litres of the finest, purest, grain alcohol and is then distilled for a fifth and final time. Dingle Distillery Vodka is most unusual in being quintuple distilled.
That fifth distillation makes a huge difference. You can taste it in the incredible purity that is as pure as the environment where we make it. There’s just a touch of sweetness and creamy texture that takes a lot of people by surprise. It is exceptionally good drunk neat.
We set out to make a really, really good vodka but even we were surprised when we tasted the first batch. It was one of those rare times when you get something perfectly right at the first go. Again, it must be tasted to be understood.
CANASTEROS
The Canasteros family dates back to Andalusia, between Seville and Jerez de la Frontera, which give the origin story to the special Spanish sherry cask finish of the Canasteros rum. The sugar cane juice is fermented with previously selected yeasts and the alcohol extracted is continuously distilled with virgin honey and molasses. The water added is coming from the green mountains east of Cordilleras de Las Palmas at 2800 meter altitude. It’s the American Oak Barrels with Columbian climate, temperature, height, and humidity that influence the aging of Ron Canasteros
