Born from the passion of friends determined to revive Ireland’s ancient whiskey-making heritage, Glendalough Distillery takes inspiration from the serene “Valley of Two Lakes” in County Wicklow. Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey reflects this harmony of tradition and innovation, a spirit matured first in ex-bourbon casks for depth, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks for a rich, rounded character. It’s a whiskey that feels like a journey from crisp Irish hills to the warmth of sunlit Spanish bodegas.
