Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitin Whiskey

Appearance: Crystal clear, like the pristine waters of a mountain stream, with a hint of viscosity that promises a robust flavor experience. Nose: The aroma is intense and invigorating, with a bouquet of wild herbs, fresh-cut grass, and hints of citrus zest. Subtle undertones of toasted barley and earthy grains add depth and complexity, enticing the senses with each inhalation. Palate: On the palate, a rush of bold flavors explodes, revealing the true character of Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitín Whiskey. Notes of spicy black pepper, tangy lemon, and floral botanicals dance across the tongue, balanced by a backbone of toasted malt and nutty undertones. The high alcohol content amplifies the intensity, delivering a powerful and unforgettable tasting experience. Finish: The finish is long and lingering, with echoes of warming spices and herbal notes that linger on the palate. A subtle sweetness emerges, reminiscent of wild honey, before giving way to a gentle warmth that spreads from the chest to the fingertips.

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.
