Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey is a single grain Irish whiskey, initially matured in American bourbon barrels before enjoying a finishing period of six months in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks. This comes bottled at 42% ABV, brought down to this strength by Wicklow mountain water. A rather tasty release presented by Glendalough, rich in vanilla, caramel, Christmas spices and dried fruit notes.
Nose: A creamy, malty nose begins with rich vanilla, white chocolate and buttery fudge. Notes of cooking apples, white grapes, marzipan icing and toasted oak form in the backdrop.
Palate: Succulent caramel, salty melted butter and crème anglaise provide a thick, decadent sweetness with a fruity underlay from blackberries and marmalade.
Finish: Polished oak and a hint of wood spice linger.

I've had more expensive whiskey that I enjoyed a lot less. Smooth, sweet and buttery, with a little spice. Not your average Irish but worth every penny.

I discovered this in the duty free shop in Shannon Airport. I was greeted by a young fellow handing out samples one of which I tasted. I took another just to make sure and could not believe how smooth it is. I just discovered this website and am comforted in knowing I can order it sent to me in the States

Very smooth tasty dram with a lovely fruity undertone due to the sherry finish. great whiskey for the price point.

So I just started drinking Irish Whiskey. The usual suspects of Red Bush and Jamiesons. Saw this Double Barrel on sale, the label was a good read so I really enjoy this fruity whiskey and I'll buy it again.

Let me get one thing out of the way before I state my review: Black Bush is my go-to when I'm at home. I enjoy the direct, unvarnished flavour of this sherry cask whiskey. When I'm on the road, it's Johnnie Walker Red (because I can never find someone stocking BB): slightly smoky, and it fulfils the basic requirements of drinkable whiskey. Both are well made, slightly complicated, rugged and handsome enough to get by, just like me. So understand that as a bias in my review. And so, based on my statement above, this Glendalough was an interesting departure from BB and JWR. It has some spice to it, that's for sure. Unlike my go-to whiskeys, this has a spicy aroma: vanilla; nuttiness; (cinnamon?); and to the guy/gal that said 'bubblegum': yes, weirdly, a bit, since you mentioned it. Now, don't let that last aromatic aspect put you off. This is good whiskey. Sure, if you're like me (and God help you if you are), the first whiff might be a bit of a surprise: where is the smoke? Where is the peat? Where is the unveiled anger? Why does this even have something to smell at all? Well, as my wife usually reminds me, I shouldn't expect everything to be the same, day in, day out. "Would you want to hang around with the same person, twenty-four/seven?" she said as the basis for her argument. I looked at her as she spoke, as I had everyday for the last seventeen years and thought, wise words. (I jest). The same applies to whiskey. Sure, it's different, but why the hell would you want to drink a whiskey that smells/tastes just like your 'go-to'? I'm halfway through the bottle now, and I'd have to say that I quite like this whiskey. I'm not a sophisticated aficionado, but this is a drinkable whiskey. I'll by it again.As a side note, I'd like to say that this is a new Irish whiskey distillery (opened 2011). I think we could use more diversity in Irish whiskey, like we have with Scotch, so we should all support the new Irish distillers.I'm glad you all agree.Rich

Very nice notes. Truly Irish with a lovely velvet texture.

Whiskey is not my first choice when it comes to hard liquor. However, when leaving Ireland for home, there was a tasting at the duty free in Dublin airport. I love this whiskey and hope I can get more once the one bottle I bought runs out.

A pleasant surprise. A very nice smooth taste

Very pleasantly surprised with this Irish Whiskey. I hadn't heard of it before I saw it at the local shop here where I live outside Boston. It's smooth and the mellow vanilla, caramel, and spice notes sit well with my palate. Will definitely be a go-to of mine!

I'm not an expert by any means, but tell me if you don't get bubble gum on the nose. It's sweet, but a candylike sweetness, not fruity. Finish is smooth.

I'm on my second bottle of Double Barrel and I have to say it's probably one of the best whiskey I've ever tasted, & I've tasted quite a few. I just love its smooth vanilla flavor. I first tasted it at the Whiskey museum in Dublin & then visited Glendalough. I'm hoping that I get a bottle of 7 year old Glendalough for Christmas. This comment comes from someone born within 10 miles of Bushmills, Co Antrim.

Found it on sale at my local outlet for $28(US). Was very excited based on what I had seen here earlier. Opened it up and poured some in a glass with one cube of ice. Initial impression was not good - harsh smell, almost of petrol - very high alcohol sniff.Fortunately I braved it out. Wow!My favorite these days has been Teeling (as a benchmark), and I find base level Jameson/Bushmills to be harsher than I would like. Glendalough has just a little bit of the harshness, but also a hint of sweet (honey?) that makes it go down very easily. No burn on the throat at the end. If you can get over the initial sniff you will be very pleased!

Flavourful and sweet, this easy-drinking whiskey is distinctly Irish. Surprisingly good for such a young whiskey.
