Glendalough Distillery was founded in 2011 by friends Barry Gallagher, Brian Fagan, Gary McLoughlin and Kevin Keenan with the intent to emphasise traditional methods of Irish distillation in the belief that the industry and market were ready for a return of independent Irish whiskey.

Glendalough {The Valley of two lakes} is a deep, glacial valley nestled in the Wicklow Mountains, just south of Dublin. Renowned for its natural, scenic beauty, the area is known as ?The Garden of Ireland?.

Glendalough is also home to a 6th-century monastic settlement founded by St Kevin, a legendary monk, an inspiration and of course, the man on the Glendalough bottle!

Finished for up to a year in the rarest of all casks, virgin Irish oak, this is a milestone for Irish whiskey. A single cask, mainstream whiskey that makes available the flavours of Irish oak to everyone.
Each bottle is numbered and traceable to each cask and even to the tree from whence it came.
Sustainably felled 140-year-old trees from the ancient oak forests in the mountains around the distillery. This was the beginning of a yearlong process that ends with an Irish oak hogshead. These special casks are filled with the most quintessentially Irish of whiskeys - pot still. The higher levels of toasted oak and vanilla flavours that Irish oak brings to the liquid complement and balance the classic pot still spices.

Raw malt aromas, with tannic oak, creamy vanilla notes and some oak char, with a wave of cinnamon spice.
Crystallised ginger and candied citrus on the palate, banana custard and maple syrup, leading into green oak and dried herbs.
Aromatic clove and more creamy vanilla on the finish, alongside some red berries and toasted oak.
