The first and only Irish whiskey to have been finished in Japanese mizunara oak casks. First aged in bourbon barrels, this single malt was then transferred to virgin mizunara barrels created by hand at Japan's only independent cooperage. These lightly charred barrels have added vanilla, sandalwood and a touch of coconut to the whisky, while also...
Glendalough have very deliberately chosen a period of seven years to age this whisky: seven is not only the number of year that St Kevin spent in the wild, but also a nod to the 'City of Seven Churches' he built at Glendalough. The whiskey inside the bottle graced by St Kevin's image is a floral, fruity whiskey with cinnamon and white pepper highlights....
This whiskey was matured in a first-fill bourbon cask laying a smooth, sweet foundation of vanilla, honey butterscotch, and toffee flavours. It was then transferred into a French Oak Calvados XO cask. This cask had previously held apple brandy for over six years, steeping it in orchard fruit flavors, while the French oak itself comes through with...

All of which come together to make this a naturally pink...

Glendalough make this Gin in August when the Wicklow hedgerows are full of blackberries, warm and ripened by the sun. The mountains around the distillery change colour from green to purple as the heather ripens, heather flowers are picked when they are in full bloom and the pollen makes the mountain air smell like honey. Wild blackberries and heather are...
