STORY: The Story of Glendalough Distillery is the story of five friends from Dublin who quit their regular jobs to break the dominance of Ireland's five major distilleries and breathe new life into the art of distilling in Ireland. For this they chose a legendary place: Glendalough - the "Valley of the Two Lakes". It is in County Wicklow, also known as the "Garden of Ireland".
-
AGEING: This Irish whiskey is stored in new bourbon casks for at least 3 years and receives its finishing touches in Oloroso sherry casks for a further 6 months. The combination of the influences of both cask types and the mild-maritime Irish climate produces an exceptional whiskey.
-
AROMA: Rich aromas of black fruits, cherries, raisins and figs on the nose, followed by floral notes of lemongrass and a hint of nutmeg.
-
RATING: Sweet and smooth on the palate with hints of caramel. Honey and pepper aromas followed by the sweet notes of the bourbon casks, dry fruits and a hint of brown sugar, round off. In the finish, the lingering notes of ginger and almond complete this complex whiskey.

The story of Glendalough Distillery is the story of five friends from Dublin who quit their regular jobs to break the dominance of Ireland's five major distilleries and breathe new life into the art of distilling in Ireland. For this they chose a legendary place: Glendalough - the "Valley of the Two Lakes". It is in County Wicklow, also known as the "Garden of Ireland". Here the famous monk St. Kevin laid the foundation for the Christianization of Ireland. A good 1,400 years later, the wildly romantic valley is the perfect backdrop for Ireland's first "Craft Distillery". The mission: to forget the last 100 years, in which all too often random blends had set the tone and to launch again the style of the great old distillates that once made Irish whiskey famous. All distillates are distilled in small copper pot stills, filtered non-chill, brought to drinking strength with Wicklow mountain spring water and then matured in first-fill bourbon casks. The finish takes place individually in further barrels.
