Glendalough // Ireland
RARE
Glendalough prides itself on being Ireland's first craft distillery, founded by 5 friends from Dublin and Wicklow in 2011. This is a stronger cask strength version of their signature Poitín (pronounced "po-tcheen," which means "pot stilled whiskey," the original Irish "water of life"), with a label featuring St.
Kevin, the monk credited with introducing post stilled whiskey to Ireland in the 16th century. It's distilled from sugar beets and malted barley and lightly aged in virgin oak casks, filtered for clarity.

PoitínPoitín or poteen is a traditional Irish spirit usually made in a small pot still. It is often made from barley, corn, potatoes or sugar beets. It isn't usually aged, but it can be for up to 10 weeks and it can also be flavored. Its name comes from the Irish word "pota" which means pot.

Tasting Notes
"This whiskey is much richer and more viscous than their lower proof Premium Irish version. It bears the same sugary, vegetal, berry, malty and smoky notes, with a heavier weight and higher octane. It's somewhat reminiscent of a high proof Old Tom style Gin, without the botanical elements. Finishes very strong, fiery and alcoholic. Even the distillery recommends adding a little water or ice to it to soften the blow."
