As the first Irish whiskey distillery to utilise the rare and exotic Mizunara, this expression from Glendalough combines Irish single malt with Japanese oak.
The volcanic northernmost island of Japan, Hokkaido, is where the Mizunara oak originates, and it is the most sought-after oak in the whiskey world. The casks used to age this 7-year-old Irish Single Malt are made using Mizunara Oak staves.
The trunks of these uniquely beautiful trees are prone to growing twisted and are notoriously difficult to cooper due to porousness. However, therein lies its saving grace, whiskey can seep deeper into the wood, extracting more flavour.
Producer's Tasting Notes
Nose: Vibrant, fruity and floral on the nose.
Palate: Fresh and citrusy with orchard fruits. A luxuriously smooth mouthfeel. Biscuity malt throughout. Vanilla, fudge and honey from the bourbon cask. The Mizunara brings dark chocolate orange, sandalwood and cinnamon.
Finish: An exceptionally long finish of toasted oak and spices, with the dark chocolate lingering even longer.
