Glendalough Madeira Cask Finish (700mL)

An astonishingly beautiful Madeira-touched tipple.

Glendalough is Gaelic for "valley of two lakes" and if you ever get to visit the small town of Glendalough, you will find just that. A beautiful hamlet in eastern Ireland with two lovely lakes nearby. If you are ever fortunate enough to visit this idyllic spot, you will also find the first new craft distillery in Ireland since… well, a gosh darn long time.

Founded by "five friends from Wicklow and Dublin," they began their journey creating Poitín — a traditional Irish distillate made in very small pot stills (sort of like small batch Irish Moonshine). From there it was a short and easy step into a variety of Irish Whiskies and Herbal-infused Gins as well. Everything is made by hand with a good measure of love.

Glendalough Madeira Cask Finish is an astonishing Madeira-touched beauty. Finished in a canteiro Madeira barrel and bottled at 84 proof, this rich and exotic liquid is complex yet light and lively at the same time. Fans of notes of cooked fruit, raisins, dark cherry, and plum have just found their new fav dram.
