There is no more Irish whiskey than Pot Still; thus, Glendalough Distillery feels it is fitting to age it in Irish Oak. Glendalough Distillery is proud to play its part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making. This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: A soft and warm opening, marked by sweet notes of citrus and vanilla. In the background, earthy and spicy nuances with a subtle touch of toasted oak, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
PALATE: A creamy and generous texture. The palate reveals rich and complex flavors of butter caramel, molasses, and dried fruits. Spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg harmoniously blend with accents of toasted wood and honey.
FINISH: Long and velvety, with lingering creamy vanilla, ripe tropical fruits, and a touch of roasted almond.
