Glendalough Calvados XO Single Cask (42%)

The Glendalough Calvados XO Cask is a distinctive single malt that combines the soft, smooth style of Irish whiskey with the refined, apple-fresh elegance of Normandy Calvados. After initial maturation in carefully selected bourbon barrels, this whiskey is given a long finish in a single Calvados XO cask, which imparts an irresistibly fruity and layered complexity.

On the nose, you’re greeted by notes of fresh and stewed apples, honey, and a hint of cinnamon, subtly supported by vanilla and light oak. The palate is silky and expressive, with flavours of caramelised apple, pear, creamy toffee, and warm spice, beautifully balanced with gentle malt and a touch of wood. The finish is long, warm, and elegantly fruity, with a delicate spiciness.

Bottled at cask strength and non-chill filtered to preserve its full depth and authentic character, this limited edition is a true treat for connoisseurs and anyone seeking something truly special.
