Another terrific bottling from Irish distillery Glendalough, forming part of their esteemed single cask series. This dram has been matured initially in former Bourbon barrels, before a finishing period in Burgundy wine casks. The result is a delicious whiskey, with a core of creamy, spicy and vanilla-led Bourbon cask notes, accompanied by fruitier wine flavours of red grapes, raspberries, cherries, mixed spice and wine tannins. A really interesting experiment from Glendalough. Nose - "Light but rich, leafy and leathery with, vanilla and dark cherries." Palate - "Fruity and fresh, with citrus but dry with rich berry notes." Finish - "Earthy, tannins and peppery wood spices."
