GLENDALOUGH 25 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT IRISH WHISKEY

Detailed DescriptionGlendalough 25 Year Old Single Malt marks a special occasion for the distillery as well as Irish whiskey in general. It is the first single malt coming from Ireland that is aged in new Irish oak casks made from the very first tree cut down by the distillery itself in the Wicklow Mountains. These come into play at the very end, after maturation in charred American oak ex-bourbon casks and Spanish ex-Oloroso sherry casks has already taken place. The end result is bottled at 92-proof without chill filtration. This incredibly rich and round release is limited to 1,800 bottles worldwide.Glendalough 25 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey Tasting NotesNose: The nose is incredibly rich with tangerine and dark dried fruits, as well as notes of chocolate, nuts, and toasted oak.Palate: They are joined on the palate by yet more fruit, honey, raisins, salted caramel, leather, tobacco, and woody spice.Finish: Long and rich.Distillery InformationBeginning operations in 2011, Glendalough holds the distinction of being Ireland’s first craft distillery.
