Product description
This bottling of Irish whiskey was matured in American oak and bourbon casks and then in Japanese oak Mizunara casks. The history of Glendalough dates back to the year 518, when Saint Kevin retreated into the Irish wilderness, where he lived for seven long years. Legend has it that he stood in the water for 13 days and 13 nights with blackbird eggs in his hands until the chicks hatched. He stayed there for another 13 days until they fledged.

The Distillery: Glendalough
Glendalough means 'Valley of the Two Lakes' in Gaelic. The valley is also called the Garden of Ireland and is located in the Wicklow Mountains south of Dublin. It was here that five friends founded Ireland's first craft distillery. Glendalough is also known for its 6th century monastic settlement. This was founded by the legendary monk and hermit St Kevin, whose story also inspired the distillery founders and whose figure adorns the Glendalough bottles.

Kommentar: Ein überragender Whisky.
Das Nosing dauert schon eine Weile, da man immer neue Aromen und Eindrücke entdecken kann. Der Geschmack ist dann dazu auch sehr interessant, mit süßen und würzigen Eindrücken und einem eher weichen Mundgefühl. Der Abgang ist schließlich lang mit milden und würzigen Akzenten.
Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
