Grianstad an Gheimhridh, meaning “the stopping of the sun,” marks the ancient Celtic celebration of the winter solstice—a moment when darkness reaches its peak before light slowly returns. The fifth release in Dingle Distillery’s evocative Wheel of the Year Series, this single malt pays homage to that mystical turning point of the seasons, capturing the warmth and reflection found in the heart of winter.
Matured initially in carefully selected bourbon casks and then finished in Tawny Port casks, the whiskey weaves together classic Irish elegance with rich, festive depth. The result is a beautifully rounded single malt that mirrors the spirit of the solstice: comforting, contemplative, and glowing with quiet richness.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a single malt Irish whiskey from Dingle Distillery, the fifth chapter in its Wheel of the Year Series, named for the ancient Celtic celebration of the winter solstice: Grianstad an Gheimhridh, or "the stopping of the sun." It begins in bourbon casks before finishing in Tawny Port casks, and at 50.5% ABV it carries real warmth without losing its silky texture. Expect cinnamon toast, warm ginger and baked apple on the nose, then milk chocolate, creamy fudge, cloves and soft red fruit over buttery malt. It suits the drinker who already enjoys Irish single malt and wants something richer and more festive, as well as anyone following the series chapter by chapter. It shines neat, and a drop of water brightens the fruit. We carry it because the port finish is handled with restraint: the dessert-like sweetness sits alongside the spice and malt rather than burying them, making it a genuinely comforting cold-weather dram.
Pairs well with
- Mince pies and gingerbread — The whiskey's cinnamon, ginger and clove echo the warm spices baked into these winter treats.
- Creamy blue cheese — Its toffee and fudge sweetness and soft red fruit offer a rich counterpoint to the cheese's salty tang.
- After-dinner fireside dram — With milk chocolate, creamy fudge and a long, mellow finish, it stands in nicely for dessert wine on a cold evening.

How strong is it, and should I add water?
It is bottled at 50.5% ABV, or 101 proof. It is lovely neat, sipped slowly, but a drop of water opens brighter fruit notes and softens the clove and ginger accents, so it is worth trying both ways.
Does it work in cocktails?

Yes. The suggested serve is an Irish Manhattan with a touch of ruby port and aromatic bitters, which plays up the whiskey's port-kissed sweetness and baking spice for a festive twist. Most drinkers will still want to try it neat first.
