About
The Glendalough Double Barrel is a distinguished Irish whiskey from the Glendalough Distillery, nestled in a glacial valley near Dublin and Wicklow. Gaelic for 'the glen of two lakes', this single grain whiskey made a remarkable debut by winning a double gold medal at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco. Its maturation in both ex-bourbon barrels and a finish in ex-Oloroso sherry casks gives it a unique character and depth. On the nose, it offers a creamy and malty aroma with notes of vanilla, white chocolate, and a hint of marzipan. The palate is sweet and smooth, featuring butterscotch, honey, and peppercorn, with hints of citrus and dried fruit. The finish is long and delightful, leaving a lingering sweetness with subtle touches of oak and spice. This whiskey is best enjoyed neat, but it also pairs beautifully with light desserts or soft cheeses.
