Dunville’s Irish Whiskey Player of the Month – February 2024

Roll on twelve months, well, almost but not quite – just under a year ago this month’s winner lifted the Dunville’s Irish Whiskey Player of the Month Award for March 2023.

The young man, is now a regular, indeed almost an ever-present and he is Jonny Angus – so well done to Jonny on lifting this popular award for the second time.

Congratulations again then to Jonny on a great month in terms of performances, his award is a bottle of a special limited edition release – “ Dead Island 2 Dunville’s Irish Whiskey”. This edition was released to celebrate the sequel of the hugely popular video sequel from Deep Silver. It’s a modern blend of pot still, malt and grain whiskeys aged in ex-bourbon casks.

Each month we are genuinely grateful to owner Shane Braniff and everyone at the multi-award-winning Echlinville Distillery for their great support. It’s early spring, and if you are contemplating a trip down the Ards Peninsula do consider calling in at The Echlinville Distillery – you can find out information on opening times, the cafe, distillery tours and the entire award-winning product range at Echlinville here . There is currently a 15% March discount available on the site (terms and conditions apply – full information on Echlinville website) so it’s a great time to order award-winning premium products.

In early February the distillery continued its fantastic run of success at the World Drinks Awards with 11 wins across three competitions – that’s 113 global successes since opening in 2013. You can find out more information on those recent successes here

Congratulations again to Shane and the team – each award fully-deserved.
