Glendalough Single Cask Irish Whiskey Canteiro Aged Madeira Cask Finish 750 ml

This exclusive single-cask expression from Glendalough is particularly special—aged in the traditional canteiro style (rested in seasoned casks in the warehouse) and finished in a seasoned Madeira wine cask. The result is a beautifully complex dram that marries time-honored Irish distillation with the rich sweetness of Madeira influence.
