Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey 750ml is a beautifully crafted expression that showcases the unique character of double-barrel aging. Produced by the Glendalough Distillery, this whiskey undergoes a meticulous aging process in two different types of barrels—first in ex-bourbon barrels, followed by a finishing period in Oloroso sherry casks. This dual maturation technique creates a complex and well-rounded whiskey that perfectly balances the sweetness of bourbon with the richness of sherry.
On the nose, you are greeted with inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak from the bourbon casks, intertwined with dried fruits and a hint of spice from the sherry influence. The first sip reveals a smooth and approachable palate, where flavors of toffee, honey, and butterscotch meld harmoniously with notes of raisins, dark chocolate, and a touch of warm spice. The Oloroso sherry cask finish adds a rich depth, enhancing the whiskey’s complexity without overpowering its natural sweetness.
The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of dried fruit, spice, and a gentle oak presence that invites you to savor each sip. Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey is perfect for sipping neat, with a splash of water, or in cocktails that allow its nuanced flavors to shine. This versatile whiskey is ideal for both casual enjoyment and special occasions, making it a great addition to any collection. Whether you’re a seasoned whiskey lover or new to Irish whiskey, this double-barrel expression offers a unique and memorable tasting experience.
