As the first Irish whiskey distillery to use the rare and exotic Mizunara oak, Glendalough ventured far off the beaten path to bring Irish single malt and Japanese oak together for the first time. The result is a whiskey of extraordinary character, shaped by one of the most sought-after cask types in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMizunara oak comes from the volcanic northern island of Hokkaido, Japan. The trunks of these uniquely beautiful trees grow twisted and are notoriously difficult to cooper due to their porousness. But therein lies the magic: whiskey seeps deeper into the wood, extracting more flavour from this unique cask than almost any other. The result is a whiskey with a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel, layers of orchard fruit and biscuity malt, and a long, spiced finish of dark chocolate and toasted oak that lingers long after the glass is empty. Multiple Double Gold awards confirm what the palate already knows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDistillery and Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlendalough Distillery, County Wicklow, Ireland.
