Glendalough  Comparison with John 5/23/21

7/28/2021

0 Comments

 
     John came by with two Glendalough expressions. One was a 13yr aged in first-fill bourbon casks. Instead of the originally planned 12 years, this whiskey was aged an extra year to honor one of the company shareholders who is an ex-rugby player and wore the number 13 in his playing days. The other expression is finished in Mizunara casks, a Japanese, northern island oak. It is also a 13 year.

We had a little cheese plate and some other whisk(e)y as well.

* Glendalough 13yr 46% ABV  First-fill bourbon casks
     -smelled lime candy, sweet caramel, shortbread cookie
     -tasted light cherry cookie dough
     -trailed quickly! w/almost no oak
     -w/water smelled very floral w/caramel cookie dough
     -tasted lighter cookie dough and slight bitter oak
     Water was not good for this.

*Glendalough 13yr Mizunara Finished 46% ABV
     -smelled lime minit candy w/vanilla and shortbread
     -tasted slight cookie dough and trailed slight oak
     -w/water smelled very lemony
     -tasted citrusy w/oak
     I think the other 13yr was sweeter.
