Glendalough Irish Whiskey Pot Still

There is no more Irish a whiskey than Pot Still, so we felt it was fitting to age it in Irish Oak. We at Glendalough Distillery are proud to play our part in bringing back the use of Irish oak for whiskey cask-making. This most quintessentially Irish style of whiskey, pot still, is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, then in Irish Oak felled in the mountains around the distillery. While the bourbon cask softens and sweetens the whiskey, the higher levels of flavor in Irish oak complement and balance the classic pot still spices. We like this one neat, over ice, or in a highball.

This 86-proof spirit matured in ex-bourbon casks for three years before it was transferred for an additional year of aging in virgin Irish oak casks, which were sustainably harvested from the mountains surrounding the distillery. The nose proffers aromas of jasmine, sweet summer peach, and toffee, and the palate is feather-light, with nuances of peanut brittle and cocoa-dusted apricot.
