Two Barrels, One Irish Whiskey
The name says it all: the bourbon barrels lay down deep, robust chocolate and caramel, then the Oloroso sherry casks lighten the palate with fruitier notes and nutty touches. Ireland's temperate, maritime air works through the porous oak the whole time. Browse the full Glendalough range or more Irish whiskey.
Tasting Notes
Per brand copy: a nose rich with dark fruit — cherry, raisin, fig, Christmas pudding — with floral notes, lemongrass, and a touch of nutmeg; a sweet, creamy palate of butterscotch, honey, peppercorn, dried fruit, maraschino cherries, and brown sugar; a lingering finish of ginger spice with a glimmer of almond.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over ice — the sherry finish keeps it interesting on its own. It also brings real depth to an Irish coffee or a whiskey highball.
