Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

Appearance: Rich amber with golden hues, reminiscent of polished mahogany, displaying a lustrous quality in the glass. Nose: The aroma opens with inviting notes of vanilla bean and caramel, intertwined with hints of toasted oak and a subtle undertone of dried fruits, such as raisins and figs. Warm baking spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg, add depth and complexity, creating an enticing bouquet. Palate: On the palate, a symphony of flavors unfolds, showcasing the dual influence of American oak and Oloroso sherry casks. Sweet vanilla and honey dance on the tongue, followed by rich notes of dark chocolate and dried fruits, balanced by a touch of oak spice and a hint of nuttiness from the sherry casks. Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of caramelized sugar and dried fruits, complemented by a gentle warmth that persists. A subtle hint of oak lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of the whiskey's intricate flavors.

The Glendalough Distillery, a true Irish Craft Distillery, was set up by five friends from Wicklow and Dublin with a passion for reviving the heritage of small size distilling in Ireland. Ireland once had over 200 licensed distilleries in the 18th and 19th centuries.The Glendalough Distillery is located just south of Dublin in the Wicklow Mountains on the road to Glendalough. Billed as being “Ireland's First Craft Distillery”, The Glendalough Distillery was established in 2011 by five friends from Wicklow and Dublin.
In 2011, Kevin Keenan, Gary McLoughlin, Barry Gallagher, Brian Fagan, and Donal O'Gallachoir founded the Glendalough Irish Whiskey Company, whose managing director was Barry Gallagher. Since there is initially nothing to sell after a start-up, whiskey was obtained from the Irish Cooley Distillery.
Outlawed in 1661 but now it's back, ours is triple distilled in a traditional copper pot-still using malted barley and pure spring water and bottled at 55% for a strong, authentic taste of Ireland's original spirit.
Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey is a single grain Irish whiskey, initially matured in American bourbon barrels before enjoying a finishing period of six months in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks. This comes bottled at 42% ABV, brought down to this strength by Wicklow mountain water.
At Glendalough Distillery we progressively-craft luxury spirits in the Wicklow Mountains, in Ireland. We hope these spirits evoke a sense of place through their depth of flavour as they are an expression of what we love about these mountains.
