Tasting Notes: A Whiskey Experience Like No Other
Glendalough’s Double Barrel Irish Whiskey delivers a sensory journey from nose to finish:
Nose: Rich notes of dark fruits like cherry, raisins, and figs, balanced with floral hints of lemongrass, citrus, and nutmeg.
Taste: Sweet and smooth, featuring butterscotch, honey, peppercorn, dried fruits, maraschino cherries, and brown sugar.
Finish: A touch of ginger spice, almond, and a subtle earthiness for a satisfying close.
The Maturation Journey
The flavor complexity of Glendalough Double Barrel is the result of its meticulous maturation process:
First Stage: Begins in flame-charred ex-Bourbon American oak casks.
Second Stage: Finishes in premium first-fill Oloroso casks from Montilla, Spain.
Each element of the process—from the bodega to the cooper—has been carefully selected to infuse the unique terroir of Montilla into every drop of whiskey. Slow-toasted Spanish casks allow the region’s essence to shine, creating a whiskey that’s rich in character and tradition.
