Glendalough - Pot Still Irish Whiskey
There is no more Irish a whiskey than Pot Still, so we felt it was fitting to age it in Irish Oak.
We at Glendalough Distillery are proud to play our part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making.
This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery.
While the bourbon cask softens and sweetens the whiskey, the higher levels of flavor in Irish oak complement and balance the classic pot still spices.
Nose: Raw malt aromas, with tannic oak, creamy vanilla notes and some oak char, with a wave of cinnamon spice.
Palate: Crystallised ginger and candied citrus, banana custard and maple syrup, leading into green oak and dried herbs.
Finish: Aromatic clove and more creamy vanilla, alongside some red berries and toasted oak.
