About Glendalough Double Barrel Whiskey
Glendalough Double Barrel Whiskey (SRP: $34.99)
This globally awarded, single grain Irish whiskey has been aged twice – first in American oak Bourbon barrels and again in Spanish oak Oloroso barrels. It will make you think twice about Irish whiskey. While the Bourbon barrels brings a sweetness and smooth vanilla notes, the Oloroso casks layer on depth of dried fruit and Spanish oak spices. We like to drink it neat, on ice, or with soda. For a delicious Double Barrel cocktail, try our Lough Inn recipe.
