Inspired by nature’s sights, smells, tastes, and sounds, we deliver unique, thought-provoking flavors that evoke a deep sense of place. At Glendalough Distillery we progressively craft luxury spirits in the Wicklow Mountains, in Ireland. We hope these spirits evoke a sense of place through their depth of flavour as they are an expression of what we love about these mountains. We take inspiration from the majestic surroundings of our home in Wicklow. The sights, smells, tastes, and sounds evoke a sense of place we look to share in our range of spirits. Kevin’s appreciation of what nature has to offer alive through our relentless pursuit of something more meaningful in our products. We are deeply connected to nature, and this is evident when you experience one of our crafted products. To make our gins, wild plants from the mountains around the distillery are hand-picked each day. What's foraged is brought back to the distillery within hours. They are painstakingly slow distilled to tease out delicate flavours, in tiny batches of less than 250 litres. The cut-points are decided batch by batch, by smell and taste (never timed or automated) as if each batch is the first. Our wood program is a testament to our relentless pursuit of flavour. American white oak forms the backbone of our maturation and where we venture off the beaten track is by finishing all of our wh***eys in a second (and sometimes third) very different cask. Irish, Japanese, French and Spanish oak are used to finish some of our various wh***eys. Each impart discernible, unique and exquisite flavours. All of this combines to deliver the most thought-provoking, unique flavours, that are brought to you by Glendalough Distillery.
