The Glendalough Distillery was among Ireland’s first craft whiskey producers. It was founded by 5 friends with a mutual love of Irish whiskey and steeped in the lore and legend of Ireland. The distillery is located in a narrow glacial valley in the Wicklow mountains, about an hour or so south of Dublin. Glendalough, pronounced glen-de-lock, is Gaelic for the glen of two lakes. County Wicklow, in which the valley is situated, is known as the “Garden of Ireland” and is among the most visited scenic attractions in the country.
The distillery produces a range of spirits including a series of seasonal gins that reflect the unique mix of botanicals that are foraged during each of the four seasons. These are bottled as Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter gins. They also make Poitín, a traditional Irish moonshine that is considered the first distillate produced in Ireland and the father of Irish whiskey. Finally, Glendalough produces three award winning whiskeys, which the distillery believes it crafts to reflect the traditional style of Irish malt whiskey.-
