The effigy of Saint Kevin is emblematic on every bottle, bearing witness to his legend: he is said to have spent seven years in the wild lands of Ireland before founding the famous "City of Seven Churches" at Glendalough. This sacred number resonates deeply with this exceptional whisky, whose soul and character were patiently forged during seven years of meticulous aging.
The Glendalough distillery (pronounced "Glendaloc") offers an authentic Single Malt aged 7 years in Bourbon barrels carefully selected for their intense, soft, and captivating aromatic profiles, guaranteeing impeccable quality.
These Bourbon barrels have a unique history: they previously held for 6 months an exceptional dark beer (Porter), the "Black Pitts Porter," produced by the renowned craft brewery "5 Lamps" in Dublin. This rich and creamy Porter is distinguished by powerful aromas of dark chocolate and roasted barley, which enhance every sip.
The deep and delicately infused aromas of this Porter in the wood harmoniously blend with the bright and fruity citrus notes of the whiskey, thereby amplifying the rich flavors of cocoa, roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee in the finish. This unique marriage offers a tasting experience of remarkable complexity and finesse, making this Single Malt Clos des Spiritueux a true masterpiece to discover absolutely.
