Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

Product Description

There are those who prefer to sip the status quo. Glendalough Double Barrel is not for them. It is a single grain Irish whiskey to blast the cobwebs off, it’s a new path taken by a new breed. The Double Barrel entices with an aroma of delicate but well-defined rich dark fruit—cherries, raisins, and figs balanced by floral lemongrass and a touch of nutmeg. 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. A rather tasty release presented by Glendalough, rich in vanilla, caramel, Christmas spices and dried fruit notes. Glendalough is an independent distillery founded by five friends that has lead the craft revival in Ireland. Having made a splash with their poitín styles, this double-barrel whiskey is a step in a new direction. It's made from a mash bill of malted barley and corn distilled in Coffey stills. It matured for 3 years in ex-bourbon barrels and finished its maturation in 500-liter oloroso sherry casks. Please note, updated packaging for this product in 2018.
