- Description
- Glendalough's 25-year-old Irish single malt undergoes a complex three-stage maturation: bourbon barrel aging, Oloroso sherry cask development, and Irish oak finishing at 46% ABV. This extended journey builds layers of orchard fruit, warm spice, and oak influence while retaining the distillery's characteristic smoothness. The marriage of cask types creates a harmonious, refined profile with both richness and balance. An impressive statement of Irish whiskey craft, suited to patient drinkers and collectors valuing long maturation.
