Production of Glendalough Double Barrel

The production of Double Barrel is a masterful interplay of traditional methods and innovative techniques. This whiskey is based on a careful selection of Irish malt and is distilled using pure water from the springs of the Wicklow Mountains. The new-make whiskeys mature in two different types of casks:

1. The first cask is a classic ex-bourbon cask that gives the whiskey a foundation of vanilla and caramel notes.
2. The second cask is an ex-sherry cask that provides a fruity and slightly nutty character.

After maturation in the two casks, the blending takes place, which turns the Double Barrel into a unique experience. The double maturation makes it possible to bring out the aromas more intensely and results in a whiskey of exceptional complexity.
