“Very nice. Usually a scotch drinker. Went through an irish whiskey experimental stage. Currently trying out bourbons. Went looking for a bottle of irish whiskey for St. Patrick's day. Not a fan of too biting or too sweet. Recognized the bottle from a review I read recently. As with most whiskeys, I tried some neat at first. My one complaint is that this is such a nice sip, I can't bring myself to add ice or a splash of water. Hits the perfect notes for me. Smooth but not bland. Not overly complex but sometimes that's a good thing. Big fan.”

Description

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.

Not even good to mix with coke

Most artificial tasting whiskey at that price. If you drink it mix some lime with the cola. Drinking it straight is a disappointment.

The best at a reasonable price

My favourite. Whiskey as it should be. A touch of caramel with a warm whiskey flavour. Smooth but with an bit of a burn.

Perfect for drinking with friends

Tried this in O'Reagan's bar in Shannon. After a pint of Guinness. Nose was quite harsh but went down smoothly - rich taste like a fruit cake but not necessarily sweet - and then a slight burn a few moments later. However, I'm giving this 5 stars as its not pricey, it does go down well and it occurred to me that if I was catching up with old friends this would really get us on the way to babble and madness. I'm a fan ?

Smooth vanilla with an oak finish.

This is a tremendous Irish whiskey. Vanilla comes out you’re strong on the first sip and then finishes with a hint of oak. Really a fantastic pour. Wish it were more readily available in the US.

Great Value

bought on sale. Incredible value! bourbon barrel gives it the vanilla and baking spice you want, oloroso mellows it well. 2 rocks and zero burn. Could drink way to much of this fine Irish whiskey.
