Glendalough - Double Barrel Whiskey

An artisanal single grain whiskey, aged in American bourbon barrels. The finish is done in Oloroso de Montilla barrels, and not in Jerez barrels. The difference is significant and this finish is unusual, if not unique for this price range. A modern and intriguing way to demonstrate what a whiskey can be. A new style of Irish whiskey for new Irish whiskey lovers. We chose the grains of Pedro Ximénez, the bodega, the wines, the barrels, the cooper - all from one small Spanish village (most of our competitors buy the barrels in the bulk markets of Jerez). Nose: Light but rich, on black fruits (cherry, raisin, fig), notes reminiscent of Christmas pudding, lemongrass and a touch of nutmeg. Palate: Soft and supple on the palate, aromas of caramel, honey, peppercorns. Dried fruits are also present, accompanied by maraschino cherry and a pinch of brown sugar. Overall: lingering notes of red spices with a hint of fine rounding off this complex Irish whiskey. Recipe: A single grain whiskey made from locally selected organic malted barley and corn. Distillation: Column still. 42% alc / vol
