Glendalough 13YO Irish Whiskey 46% 700m

The Glendalough Distillery was founded by a group of friends from Wicklow and Dublin with a passion for reviving the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland. Inspired by the story of St Kevin who left abandoned safety and comfort to follow his passion to create something more meaningful in the mountains, the friends convinced each other to leave the safety of their day jobs, head into the mountains and take a chance to create something beautiful.

The distillery was built near their favourite spot in Glendalough. Glendalough or the Glen of two lakes is one of the most beautiful, and visited valleys in Ireland.

The Glendalough 13 Year Old Single Malt was matured in first-fill bourbon casks using local Wicklow water and bottled at 46%. The original plan was to release this as a 12-year-old whisky however in honour of rugby great Brian O’Driscoll (no.13 jersey), it was matured an extra year.

Nose: Deep butterscotch, vanilla pod, a hint of a clove spice balanced with citrus fruits.

Palate: Toffee, vanilla, dark chocolate, with touches of fruit, lemon citrus, peach and apricot.
