About
Before he built his "City of 7 Churches" in the valley of Glendalough, St Kevin spent 7 years in the wilderness. This whiskey is made the hard way, in the traditional style, its character too, shaped by 7 years. On the bottle, you'll see 7 silver crosses - these will lead you to the 7 churches in Glendalough.
This single malt whiskey is made using a mash bill of locally grown, locally malted barley with no smoke or peat in the malting process. Copper Pot Still. Double Distilled. Non- Chill-Filtered. These heavier double distilled whiskeys keep more of the base malt characteristics from the mash bill. They are aged in first- fill ex- Bourbon casks to compliment the malt characteristics perfectly. A whiskey aged cask by cask.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rich and sweet, with a touch of cinnamon and more than a hint of citrus fruits - orange zest and lemon infused with vanilla ice cream and wild flowers.
- Palate: A silky smooth palate with returning orange zest to the fore, rich creme brûlée and dark chocolate notes and a touch of cinnamon and white pepper spiciness, followed by the robust malt and oak influenced flavours.
- Finish: Luxurious and lingering, the spicy, sweet notes elegantly marry on the long finish.
- Non- Chill-Filtered. Natural Colour.
- Awards: Global Spirits Masters 2015 - Taste Master - Best Tasting Irish Whiskey; Global Spirits Masters 2015 - Master.

Here at OneDayOnly we pride ourselves on two things:
Our remarkable ability to remember quotes from practically any movie, and our skill in catering to almost any person in South Africa.
The latter is the harder of the two, because A) we haven't met everyone in the R of SA and 2) our personal tastes can hardly be used as a benchmark for things other people may enjoy.
Still, through sheer determination and never-miss-an-episode viewings of Egoli and Generations, we like to think we hit the proverbial nail on the head more often than not.
And in the almost unfathomable event that we're completely wrong and nothing on our cyber-shelves appeals to you, we'd like to leave you with the following gem from Lord of the Rings:
"Use the force, Harry." - Edward Cullen.
