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.
This is a very nice product, I tried and like it very much.
This is a wonderful idea to produce the great work. I tried and really enjoyed
Ok, I hate to be that one guy, but I nearly hated this whiskey. There was no good flavor to be found for me. Straight, some water, on the rocks, nothing worked. I'm going to give it a 2 star because I'm hoping I got a bad bottle. Yes, I'm a bourbon fan most of the time, but I had high expectations that weren't met. It really is possible that it's just my tastes aren't sophisticated for this, but I was let down.
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 DID get it in Canada , it took me to heaven & I'm an atheist! Paul Kirmmse Whaletown,BC
