Glendalough 17 Year Old is a rare and refined single malt, matured initially in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in exceptionally scarce Japanese Mizunara oak casks. This cask type, known for its porous grain and aromatic influence, imparts elegant notes of sandalwood, coconut, spice, and incense to the whiskey. On the palate, it unfolds with rich flavours of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and toasted oak, with a soft undercurrent of citrus and vanilla. The whiskey’s luxurious texture and deep complexity are signatures of both age and exceptional wood management. With only 6,000 bottles released worldwide, it stands as one of Glendalough’s most exclusive offerings. The long, warming finish leaves behind subtle hints of exotic spice and wood smoke. This is a collector’s whiskey for those who seek something truly distinctive and world-class.
