Glendalough - The Brand
Glendalough, pronounced "Glen-Da-Lock," translates to "Valley of Two Lakes." The Irish Saint, St. Kevin of Glendalough, is featured on the brand's label. St. Kevin built a monastery in the 6th century in the Glendalough Valley that stands intact to this date. Around this same period, Irish monks were credited with some of the first distillation of alcohol. The Glendalough Distillery was set up by five friends from Wicklow and Dublin to revive the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland. The distillery is located on the east coast of Ireland in Wicklow, about an hour drive south from Dublin.
