Created through an epic adventure to find the best oak on earth for whiskey, Glendalough's Mizunara finished 7-year Single Malt Irish Whiskey is the first of it's kind. It is the only Irish Whiskey to be finished in hand crafted Japanese Mizunara oak casks from Hokkaido Japan.
Mizunara oak is the most sought after oak in the whiskey world. Partly due to the fact that the Mizunara oak has to grow twice as long as most oak trees before they can be felled, and after which is a long 3 year drying time. The Mizunara is also prone to growing quite twisted, adding to the difficulty of hand crafting the casks. This precious oak lends it's very nature to this whiskey through its extensive porosity.
This whiskey has a very vibrant, fruity yet floral essence. There is a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel that contains the flavors of the Mizunara; Sandalwood, cinnamon and dark chocolate with hints of orange. The exceptionally long finish contains notes of toasted oak and spices with the lingering taste of dark chocolate.
