Glendalough Single Grain Calvados XO Cask Finish Whisky

Glendalough Single Grain Calvados XO Cask Finish is a truly unique Irish whiskey, taking its clean, delicate spirit and elevating it through meticulous secondary maturation. Initially aged in ex-Bourbon casks, this single grain whiskey is then finished for an extended period in extremely rare Calvados XO casks sourced from Normandy, France. This finishing process imparts a remarkable depth and fruity complexity. The nose is greeted with rich notes of baked apple, sweet pear, and vanilla. On the palate, expect a velvety smooth texture with flavors of cinnamon, honey, and dried fruit, culminating in a long, satisfying finish that beautifully showcases the apple brandy influence. This is a masterful expression that pushes the boundaries of traditional Irish whiskey.
