It’s about enhancing the spirit, not masking it, bringing Irish whiskey into bold new territory without losing its soul.

Interesting Fact
Glendalough was Ireland’s first craft distillery, founded by a group of friends and former ad men who wanted to bring storytelling back to Irish spirits. Every label features St. Kevin, a 6th century monk who lived in the valley the distillery is named after.

Serving Suggestions
Pour them all, line them up, and taste slow. Start with the lightest (bourbon cask), end with the boldest (red wine or Calvados). Add water to open up the more complex finishes, and keep notes, you’ll want to remember which one wins you over.

Distillery Background
Tucked in a forested valley just south of Dublin, Glendalough Distillery blends old world mysticism with new school innovation. They’re known for wild botanical gins, single grain and malt whiskeys, and for daring to age spirits in some of the most unique casks available in the world today.
