Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Whiskey : Irish
Description
Glendalough Distillery brings a distinctly Irish pot still whiskey to life, honouring one of Ireland’s most historic styles - a mash of malted and unmalted barley distilled in traditional pot stills. The spirit is initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels before receiving up to a year’s finish in Irish oak hogsheads sourced sustainably from the Wicklow mountains surrounding the distillery. This local oak finishing adds spice, tannin and depth to the classic pot still profile, marrying heritage technique with a strong sense of place. Each bottle is individually numbered, offering traceability back to the cask and oak tree that helped shape it.
Appearance: A warm amber glow in the glass, indicative of careful cask influence.
Nose: Sweet citrus and vanilla lead, with caramel, banana and treacle notes layered atop herbal spice and gentle oak-derived leather warmth.
Palate: Chewy texture unfolds toasted malt spice and pot still character, enriched by toffee pear, cinnamon and nutmeg with a distinctive toasted Irish oak presence.
Finish: Long with lingering creamy vanilla, almond and a subtle forest fruit quality balanced by toasted oak spice.

Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey
- Food Pairing : Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey rewards slow sipping neat or with a single large ice cube to open its spiced oak and sweet fruit nuances. It also makes a refined base for classic whisky cocktails like an Irish Whiskey Old Fashioned or a gently stirred Manhattan, where its rich malt spice and oak warmth lend complexity. At the table, pair with hard cheeses and charcuterie, where savoury spice and fruit elements resonate, or enjoy it alongside butternut squash soup with toasted seeds, the whiskey’s spice and sweet grain notes complementing the dish’s richness.
- Drink before: Intended for now enjoyment; cellaring won’t significantly improve once bottled.
