Glendalough Single Malt 13 Year

Grainy, some fruit with a nutty and oaky flavor that lingers too long. With water it balances out a bit with earlier nuttiness and adding some more of a butter cookie note.

All a little soft but quite pleasant. It can take lots of water and it’s worth stretching out. Takes a long time to open up. 15-20min Nose: Pretty candy barley Background musk sticks Light tropical fruit Tinned pineapple Arrival: Woody vanilla Apple mint Fine white pepper Fresh cut grass Development: White tea Dried mango Juniper berry Spiced mead Finish: Light menthol Horse radish Herbal aniseed leaf I got this one on special for around $80 aus, very much worth getting at that price but there’s a lot of better malts for $150.

vanilla, almost banana slight sweetness

Overall delightful, the middle has a weird snap pea flavor probably derived from the Japanese barrels.
