About Glendalough Pot Still
Glendalough Pot Still is a bold Irish Whiskey produced by Glendalough Distillery, bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) in 750ml sizes for $37.50. This non-age-statement single pot still whiskey, sourced and distilled at West Cork, matures in ex-bourbon casks for soft vanilla and caramel notes, then finishes in slow-toasted Irish oak hogsheads from the Wicklow Mountains, adding rich spice, toasted wood, and silky tannins. What makes it special is its revival of Irish oak casks under sustainable harvesting—planting seven saplings per tree felled—balancing classic pot still spices like cinnamon and nutmeg with herbaceous intensity. Ideal for whiskey enthusiasts seeking a unique, spicy Irish profile beyond smooth blends, it suits those who enjoy young, characterful pours. In its category, it stands out for Irish oak innovation but divides reviewers: punchier and greener than Teeling's first pot still, less harmonious than Dingle's, with raw malt clashing against aggressive wood in its youth.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Inviting aromas of honey, vanilla, toasted oak, citrus like lemon and lime, and fresh orchard fruits mingle with raw cereal malt and grassy green notes. Earthy clove rock, cinnamon, and pine resin emerge, with water amplifying spice. Some detect lemongrass crispness and unripe hazelnuts amid green hardwood bark.
👅 Palate
Oily and spicy arrival with raw malt, clove oil, ginger, pepper, and dry oak tannins dominating a medium-to-juicy mouthfeel. Green herbal bitters, nut oils, grassy malty notes, and subtle honeydew or vanilla taffy add complexity, though youth brings puckering spice and mustiness. Bourbon cask softens with caramel, balanced by Irish oak's toasted richness.
✨ Finish
Medium-to-long with lingering spice heat, green herbal notes, nuttiness, citrus tannins, and dry oak. Ginger or menthol fades slowly, sometimes musty or flavorless.
