Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey combines traditional Irish distilling with a modern maturation process that gives the whiskey its distinctive character. Produced at the Glendalough Distillery, nestled in the picturesque Wicklow Mountains, this single grain whisky is crafted from carefully selected grains and pure spring water. It is first matured in ex-American bourbon casks before being finished in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. This combination gives the whisky an elegant structure, in which the typical grain notes of the single grain meet the aromatic depth of the sherry casks. The artisanal production method and clear sense of origin make this bottling an authentic example of the Irish whisky tradition.


The double cask maturation creates a profile that clearly bears the distillery’s signature. Glendalough Double Barrel Whiskey showcases a harmonious blend of mild cask-derived flavour and delicate aromas, making the whiskey appealing to both connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The distillery deliberately opts for a natural presentation without unnecessary additives, thereby emphasising the quality of the raw materials used. As such, this bottling exemplifies the renaissance of modern Irish whiskies, which build on traditional methods whilst emphasising their regional character.
