Embark on a flavour journey that begins in the wooded mountains of Wicklow and travels to the volcanic north of Japan with Glendalough's 7-Year-Old Single Malt Mizunara Cask Irish Whiskey. This splendid expression represents the culmination of a relentless quest for the world's most flavourful oak. The whiskey is distilled in Ireland, then aged in the sought-after Mizunara oak from Hokkaido, Japan, creating an exquisite fusion of Irish tradition and Japanese artisanship.
On the nose, the whiskey is vibrant and fruity with a floral hint, leading to a smooth, luxurious mouthfeel. Expect notes of dark chocolate orange, sandalwood, and cinnamon - elements synonymous with Mizunara whiskeys. The finish is exceptionally long, graced by toasted oak and oriental spices, with the lingering presence of dark chocolate ensuring a delightful end.
Glendalough Distillery, the producer of this fine spirit, was established by a group of friends from Wicklow and Dublin, passionate about reviving Ireland's craft distilling heritage. Nestled near Glendalough, a picturesque valley located just south of Dublin, the distillery honours the area's rich tradition of whiskey making, which saw over 200 licensed distilleries in the 18th and 19th centuries.
A key facet of Glendalough's whiskey is the profound influence of the wood used for ageing, which imparts diverse nuances to the flavour profile. The distillery's location, also known as the 'Glen of Two Lakes', is not only renowned for its stunning natural beauty, but also for its 6th-century monastic settlement founded by St Kevin - the man gracing every Glendalough bottle.
St Kevin's legacy, much like the distillery's dedication to crafting exquisite spirits, stands as an inspiration for those pursuing passion over comfort. Just as he became one with the wild, Glendalough's spirits harmonise the best of Irish tradition with global influences, creating something truly meaningful and worth savouring.
