Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey 3cl Whisky

“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!”
