Triple Dog Irish Whiskey Review

Triple Dog Irish Whiskey Review

Distilled in Dundalk, County Louth | Aged 4+ Years in French Oak | 40% ABV | SRP: $35.99

Overview:

Triple Dog Irish Whiskey brings together heritage distillation techniques with a modern, flavor-forward profile. Triple distilled in both traditional copper pot stills and copper column stills, and matured for a minimum of four years in French oak, this whiskey aims to offer smoothness with layered complexity. Despite its budget-friendly price point, it boasts a string of gold medals—implying it may punch well above its weight.

Nose:

The aroma opens with vibrant, youthful energy—bright red fruits like cherry and raspberry jump forward, backed by a silky roundness of caramel and vanilla custard. The influence of the French oak brings a subtle elegance, offering light floral undertones and a hint of toasted wood, creating a nose that is both approachable and refined.

Palate:

The first sip is soft and sweet, unfolding like dessert in a glass. Caramel apple dominates the early palate, followed by the rich fruitiness of cherry pie filling. Mid-palate, a wave of vanilla frosting adds a smooth, almost confectionary note that rounds out the profile. While the mouthfeel is not overly complex, it is undeniably pleasant and creamy, making this an easy sipper.

Finish:

The finish is medium in length with a full, sweet viscosity that lingers gently on the tongue. Echoes of orchard fruit and soft vanilla trail off slowly, leaving a clean yet sugary afterglow.

Are you taking the dare?

Final Thoughts:

Triple Dog Irish Whiskey is a flavorful and inviting pour that offers a dessert-like experience without veering into artificial sweetness. Its use of French oak and triple distillation lend it a smoothness that feels polished, while the fruit-forward and creamy profile makes it perfect for casual sipping or easygoing cocktails.

At $35.99, it delivers excellent value—especially for those looking to explore Irish whiskey with a sweeter, more dessert-driven profile. Its gold medal accolades feel well-earned, and it’s a strong contender in the approachable, flavor-packed Irish whiskey category.

Thank you to the folks at Triple Dog and Big Thirst Marketing for introducing me to this delicious sipper with no strings attached.
