Happy St Patrick’s Day. After a week of Redbreasts, Spots, Jameson and Teeling…decided to pull out a new/old favorite. Glendalough Single Malt 13yr Mizunara Cask Finish. I know when this came out they were still sourcing from Cooley, but wow what they did with it! Just a gorgeous balance of barley sugar, nuts, ripe apple & vanilla. The finishing gives this wonderful earthiness and dark oak that tames the 46% ABV perfectly. This bottle is almost done but I have another one in the cellar. Mizunara finishing became a minor craze a few years back. It’s surprising that a young distillery did such great work with this expression! Grab this if you can.
