Join us for a special Stories & Sips online evening dedicated to one of the great names in Irish whiskey: Dunville’s.

Once produced at the Royal Irish Distilleries in Belfast, Dunville’s was among the most famous Irish whiskey brands in the world before disappearing for almost eight decades. Its revival by Echlinville Distillery brought “The Spirit of Belfast” back to life, reconnecting one of Irish whiskey’s great lost names with a new generation of drinkers.

Over the course of this live Zoom event, we'll cover the remarkable story of Dunville’s: its Belfast origins, its rise, its disappearance, and its modern resurrection at Echlinville Distillery on the Ards Peninsula in Co. Down.

We’ll explore what makes Dunville’s so distinctive, from its house style and sherry-cask influence to the character, depth, and elegance that have made its modern releases some of the most respected Irish whiskeys of the past 20 years.

We'll explore the full rnage of Dunville's offerings and we’ll also look back at the award-winning Stories & Sips releases created with Dunville’s and Echlinville, and share the stories behind the bottles, the casks, and the people who brought them to life.

Whether you know Dunville’s well or are discovering it for the first time, this will be an evening of whiskey, history, storytelling, and shared appreciation for one of Irish whiskey’s great comeback stories.
