Glendalough 7 Year Old Mizunara Cask Finished

This is a 7 year old Irish single malt from Glendalough, finished in Mizunara casks from Japan. The bottle ties together the distillery's home in the Wicklow mountains and the Hokkaido forests where the Mizunara was found, an idea taken from the Japanese red thread of fate. The nose is vibrant, fruity and floral. On the palate it is smooth, with dark chocolate orange, sandalwood and cinnamon. The finish is long, with toasted oak and woody spices, and the dark chocolate lingers longest.
