Glendalough 7 Years Mizunara Cask
A standout Irish single malt marrying traditional Irish smoothness with exotic Japanese oak influence. Matured for seven years in ex-bourbon barrels and finished for an extended period in rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks from Hokkaido, this expression offers a truly distinctive flavour profile. The porous, flavour-rich Mizunara wood imparts sandalwood, dark chocolate-orange and warm spice notes that elevate the classic Irish malt base, making this bottle a compelling choice for those exploring cask-influenced whiskies. Mizunara is notoriously difficult to work with due to its grain structure and expense - a challenge Glendalough embraced to craft this innovative release.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is vibrant, fruity and floral, leading into a luxuriously smooth palate where orchard fruit and biscuity malt from the bourbon maturation blend with Mizunara’s hallmark notes of dark chocolate orange, sandalwood and cinnamon. The finish is exceptionally long, with toasted oak and exotic spice lingering well after the last sip.
Style Insight:
Glendalough’s Mizunara finish represents a creative cross-cultural approach to whiskey maturation - combining Irish distillation heritage with Japanese oak influence - and is one of the more unusual cask-finished Irish single malts available.
- Food Pairing : Enjoy neat in a tulip glass to appreciate the depth and subtle complexities - the fruit and spice interplay shines without dilution. With a splash of water, the orange citrus and honeyed notes broaden, making this a contemplative sipper alongside dark chocolate desserts or toasted almond pastries.
- Drink before: Being a 7-year-old single malt, it is not designed for long-term "investment" aging, but can be kept sealed in a cool, dark place for 5–10+ years without significant deterioration.
