Waterford Biodynamic Luna Irish Single Malt

In a nutshell:
Vibrant and spicy Irish whisky crafted from Ireland's first biodynamic barley harvest.

The lowdown:
A groundbreaking Irish whisky and - we're pretty sure - the world's first crafted entirely from biodynamically-grown barley. Biodynamic farming goes beyond organic practices, treating the farm as a living organism, prioritizing soil health, natural processes, and even incorporating lunar cycles. This approach aims to infuse the barley with a unique vitality and sense of the land it was grown on - a character that shines through in the final whisky. This is more than just a delicious dram, it's a pioneering exploration of whisky's agricultural roots.

Tasting note:
Nose - Warm spice bazaar on a summer afternoon – cinnamon, cardamom, and a hint of clove mingle with fresh rye bread and sun-ripened apricots.
Palate - A burst of lively spice, like black pepper dancing with sweet ginger. Creamy vanilla and sugared almonds emerge, layered with a subtle orchard fruit medley.
Finish - Luminous and lingering. The spice transforms into a comforting warmth balanced by hints of orchard fruit and a whisper of custard.

The Producer:
Waterford Whisky, founded by Mark Reynier, explores terroir's impact on whisky by championing a barley-forward approach. Collaborating with Irish farmers, they select barley from unique soils and microclimates, distilling each harvest separately to create 'Single Farm Origin' whiskies. These expressions highlight terroir-driven flavour variations. They also produce complex cuvées by blending these whiskies. Committed to organic and biodynamic farming, they believe it yields the most flavourful barley. Transparency is key: each bottle features a TÉIREOIR code, tracing the whisky's journey from grain to glass.
