GLENDALOUGH 7YO MIZUNARA FINISH

#9 – GLENDALOUGH 7YO MIZUNARA FINISH

COUNTRY: Ireland
ABV (PROOF): 46% (92)
PRICE: $ 100 | € 90
TYPE: Single Malt

A new release from the Irish distillery known for Mizunara oak aging. A red thread on the bottle is placed to represent the links between Wicklow, Ireland and Hokkaido, Japan.

This release is evocative and particular: fruit is black (plum, blackcurrant, blackberry) and dark red (very ripe black cherry), with a hint of juicy raisins in alcohol. Everything is accompanied by a balsamic scent, blackcurrant hard candy. There is a complex sweetness of blackberry jam with a touch of wine and a slight bitter balsamic chocolaty note, pleasant, which deepens the experience. A precious wood finish.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE

Among the whiskies tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.

This list will be published in detail in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5 .
