Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Appearance: A radiant golden amber, reminiscent of sunlit fields, with a gentle viscosity that promises a rich and satisfying experience. Nose: The aroma is inviting, with notes of honeyed malt and toasted oak dominating the forefront. Subtle hints of vanilla bean and caramelized sugar dance delicately in the background, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet. Palate: On the palate, Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey delivers a symphony of flavors that unfold with each sip. Ripe orchard fruits, including apples and pears, mingle with creamy toffee and hints of butterscotch, creating a luscious and indulgent mouthfeel. Warm spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, add a subtle kick, while oak undertones provide structure and balance. Finish: The finish is long and lingering, with echoes of caramelized sugar and toasted oak that gradually fade into a gentle warmth. A touch of citrus zest adds a refreshing brightness, leaving a lasting impression of satisfaction and contentment.

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.
