Like all GlenDalough distillates, the distillate of this bottling is distilled in small copper pot stills, not chilled filtered, brought to drinking strength with spring water from Wicklow and then matured in First Fill Bourbon barrels. However, this Pot Still whisky is also refined in Irish oak barrels. Every year at the beginning of winter, 140-year-old oak trees in the Wicklow Mountains are sustainably felled for these barrels. For each felled oak tree, 7 young trees are planted. In honor of these trees and the process of transferring the taste of the Wicklow Mountains into the whiskey, each bottle is not only traceable to each batch and each barrel, but also to each tree that was felled for that particular barrel. The gift box shows the bark of the first oak tree felled at Glendalough. The label shows the average thickness of this oak tree.
