{"product_id":"glendalough-double-barrel-irish-single-grain-whiskey-750ml","title":"Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Single Grain Whiskey 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlendalough Double Barrel is an Irish single grain whiskey from Glendalough, Ireland's first craft distillery, matured in flame-charred ex-bourbon American oak and finished in Oloroso sherry casks from Montilla, bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle bears the image of St. Kevin, the legendary 6th-century monk who founded a monastery in the beautiful valley of Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains. The whiskey breaks from heavy traditional blends to show how light, complex grain spirit can shine with an innovative wood program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is distilled in a Coffey still, itself an Irish invention, from a mash of Irish malted barley and corn, creating a light, floral grain whiskey. It spends around three and a half years in flame-charred ex-bourbon American oak, then is finished in Oloroso casks from Montilla, a small town in the rolling hills of the Spanish countryside. The bourbon barrels add sweet, smooth vanilla, while the Oloroso casks layer on dried fruit and slightly nutty flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet and creamy on the palate, it brings butterscotch, honey and peppercorn from the bourbon casks, with dried fruit returning through notes of maraschino cherries and a pinch of brown sugar. The double-barrel maturation makes it smooth and well rounded, with an accessible sweetness and no harsh burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has won a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Gold at the 2024 New York International Spirits Competition. Enjoy it neat, on ice or in a whiskey highball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, honey, dried fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and creamy; butterscotch, honey, peppercorn, maraschino cherry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, brown sugar, nutty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glendalough Distillery, Wicklow, Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single grain Irish whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irish malted barley and corn, Coffey still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon American oak, finished in Montilla Oloroso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84 proof (42% ABV)\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\u003eSip it neat or on ice, or make a highball with ginger ale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is on the label?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt. Kevin, the 6th-century monk who founded a monastery at Glendalough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it matured?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn ex-bourbon American oak, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat awards has it won?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDouble Gold at San Francisco and Gold at the 2024 New York International Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-whiskey\"\u003eWhiskey collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glendalough Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68120912986421,"sku":"VWS200432237","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-45176.webp?v=1794261145","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/glendalough-double-barrel-irish-single-grain-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
