Glendalough Double Barrel Single Grain

Drinking this with several drops of cold water. Sweet and spicy up front and finishes dry in the back of the throat. Flavors of vanilla, toffee, and black pepper.

This is a very tasty whiskey. The sherry taste is quite evident.

I'm not a fan of wine at all, so I always avoided Sherry Cask whiskies. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the Irish I picked up on a whim was in fact, sherry cask! Then one day I decided to actually open my bottle of Glendalough, and my 'whiskey trajectory' changed forever. Like other reviewers have said, this is a relatively 'hot' whiskey, but the strength of the flavours is appropriately calibrated to the heat. The thing that immediately pulled me in was the general nuttiness and strong almost milky eggnog note on the finish.

Caramel and pepper spiced apple Nose after resting 15 min: bubbleguma and apple pie are first noticeable aromas, then vanilla, graham cracker, lemon, orange candy, nutmeg, pepper Taste: nutmeg, brown sugar, and some sweet caramel then a pepper kick, then moving to fruity orange and apple, a hit of lemon, then back to pepper spice and heat, graham cracker. Finish is moderately short

So affordable and such an easy drink. Fruit forward but also a bit of a nutty finish. I love sipping on this whiskey.
