Insta-hun 101: Where to buy the Whispering Angel rose that’s all over your timeline

Lynda Keogh

You’ve seen it all over Instagram, and now you want to add a curated-but-not-curated image of a Whispering Angel bottle to your feed too…

Well, I’m here to help you get your hands on a bottle (or two) and upgrade your grid.

Let’s be real, we only really became aware of Whispering Angel when it magically appeared on our Instagram feeds and somehow became the unofficial sponsor of summer. Whispering Angel screams basic-but-classy-b*tch in the best way; it is the it tipple of our favourite influencers and we have been 100% influenced.

Here is where you can get your hands on it this summer …

Whispering Angel is produced by the winemakers who also produce the wines of Chateau d’Esclans, Cotes de Provence in France – with tasting notes of white peach, cherry with hints of exotic spices and refined finishing notes of dried mango and sage honey.

If you’re not a sommelier (like me) – that means it’s fruity on first sip, and the after-taste is sweet like honey. It tastes good and looks pretty – ticks all my boxes anyway.

Molloy’s Liquor Store are selling the good stuff and luckily there’s seven stand-alone stores in various areas of Dublin, so there’s likely one not too far from you. You can also buy online and get it delivered straight to your door – anywhere in Ireland… pretty handy.

If you’re D6 based and need a bottle of Whispering Angel in your life, the reliable Redmond’s of Ranelagh should be able to sort you out.

You can also order online and do a drive-thru collection – genius! The guys at Whelehan’s Wines have perfected the art of contactless wine collection, and you can also pick up a cheeky antipasto platter while you’re there too. Tbh, this is an essential addition.

They might be Ireland’s oldest family-owned wine merchant, but Mitchell & Son very much have that 2020 vision. You can buy your beloved Whispering Angel online and have it delivered to your door from these guys.

Sometimes going big (and staying home) is the only way to do summer. The Corkscrew Wine Merchants might be small, but boy do they know how to do Insta-hun right. They are my go-to for ultra bougie magnum bottles of WA; ideal as a gift, for a large group of huns or a family with peak notions.

In the heart of D4, Baggot Street Wines also stock our pal WA. They have teamed up with Deliveroo for easy delivery right to your door – perfection.

We can’t forget our huns in North County Dublin, don’t panic – the aptly named Jus De Vine in Portmarnock have stock to keep you and your Insta lit this summer.

StuffUNeed  just added WA (and big sister Rock Angel) to their online store. Quick, seamless (and contactless) delivery service arranged within 48 hours – to the majority of Dublin, Bray and Greystones.

Now you’re pretty much ready to get that Insta-hun essential on the feed; Whispering Angel order – check, all-white ensemble – check, rattan garden furniture set – check, boyfriend of Instagram – check {*unwilling participant*}
