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.
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.
Succulent caramel, salty melted butter and crème anglaise provide a thick, decadent sweetness with a fruity underlay from blackberries and marmalade.
Polished oak and a hint of wood spice linger.

The first dram of this made me sit up and take notice and the more I drank it, the better it got! This single grain has a unique taste and is complex in it's own way. For less than £35, it's certainly worth picking up a bottle - or two!
Very sooth, really like the palate
I’m usually more of a red wine drinker but my sister gifted this to me and I love it. I always thought of glendalough as a place to walk the dog but it turns out they do a decent whiskey too.
Superb for à grain. Lots of aroma and richness in there. Like à matured in bourbon casks malt very fruity with even candy Like notes.
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.
