Glendalough 13 year old, Single Malt Irish Whiskey

700 ml, 46.0% abv, Ireland

A 13 year old single malt Irish whiskey, released by Glendalough, matured in first fill ex-Bourbon casks, non-chillfiltered. However we need to wait a few more years to taste whiskey from Glendalough’s own Holstein stills.

Description

The nose is deep butterscotch, honeycomb and rich lemon meringue balanced with citrus fruits and just a hint of a clove spice.

The taste. Jumps to the front with an intense vanilla fudge luxurious sweetness and almost rock candy mixed with touches of fruit – lemon citrus, peach and dried apricot.
This is followed by deep spices; red peppercorn and light cloves. A truly velvety mouth feel that just hovers on the palate.

The finish. The spice is left lingering with under-layers of robust malt characteristics and deep oak notes. And again vanilla fudge reoccurs with a finish that lasts an eternity.
