About this bottle

Gelston's 12 Year Old Single Malt is a single malt Irish whiskey from Ireland in our whiskey range. It is bottled at 40% ABV, carrying a 12-year age statement, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Light, sweet tropical fruits and crisp green apple, toasty malt, caramel biscuits, orange peel, vanilla cream; on the palate: Charred pineapple, roasted nuts, fruit cake spice with a touch of clove, silky butterscotch; finish: Syrupy flapjack, more vanilla and zesty citrus, a prickle of ginger creeps in, balanced by sweet caramel and biscuity malt.

Serving & pairing

Smooth enough to enjoy neat, Irish whiskey also lifts a hot toddy or an Irish coffee. Pairs with soda bread, mild cheeses and roast chicken.

What is single pot still Irish whiskey?

A style made only in Ireland from a mash of malted and unmalted barley (historically to avoid a tax on malt), distilled in copper pot stills at a single distillery. The unmalted barley gives a distinctive spicy, creamy texture.

Wishlist haul

Saved three, bought three.

“A month of adding bottles to the Spirit Hives wishlist, then I checked out the three I kept opening. Sherried Speyside, a rye, a Rioja. All three matched the page.”
Matej N.Three bottles
Rare find

The bottle my town does not stock.

“Spirit Hives had the small-batch bourbon I had only ever seen on holiday. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was on the table for Sunday. That is why I came back.”
Marcus T.Small-batch bourbon
Birthday gift

Quick to order. Worth the wait.

“Checkout at Spirit Hives took a minute. The bottle itself took a little longer than a supermarket run. I ordered ahead for my brother's birthday and it arrived in time.”
Derek C.Ordered in advance
Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
