In the 18th and 19th centuries Ireland had more than 200 licensed distilleries, a number that later fell to a small handful, and Glendalough set out to bring back that diversity. It pioneered the use of Mizunara oak in Irish whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMizunara is famously rare and difficult to work with, and the finish adds exotic notes of sandalwood, cinnamon and dark chocolate while preserving the whiskey's bright, floral Irish character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts elegant boxed presentation makes it a distinctive gift for whiskey explorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a drop of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrish single malt is made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery. Bourbon barrels lay down a base of vanilla, honey and soft oak, and a finish in a second cask adds a new layer on top, here the incense-like spice for which Mizunara is prized in Japanese whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMizunara oak is porous and prone to leaking, which makes its casks rare and costly, so a Mizunara finish is still unusual outside Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and floral Irish malt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMizunara:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandalwood, cinnamon and dark chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon, finished in Hokkaido Mizunara oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glendalough Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Mizunara Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Irish barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon barrels, finished in Japanese Mizunara oak from Hokkaido\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wicklow, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a drop of water.
