Tasting Notes
Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey is a captivating spirit that takes you on a flavor journey through the lush Wicklow Mountains. With a harmonious blend of malted and unmalted Irish barley, this whiskey delights the senses from the first whiff. The nose greets you with raw malt aromas, complemented by tannic oak, creamy vanilla notes, and a tantalizing wave of cinnamon spice. On the palate, it unfolds a symphony of flavors – crystallized ginger mingles with candied citrus, while banana custard and maple syrup add a luscious sweetness. This richness is balanced by the presence of green oak and dried herbs, creating a delightful contrast. The finish is a lingering embrace of aromatic clove, more creamy vanilla, red berries, and toasted oak. Matured in bourbon casks and finished in Irish virgin oak casks crafted from 140-year-old trees surrounding the distillery, this whiskey is a testament to the region's natural bounty and the art of skillful distillation.
