Description
In a nutshell:
Coastal influence meets spice and honey, in this Irish whisky showcasing barley grown near the sea.
The lowdown:
A single malt Irish whisky from Waterford's Single Farm Origin series. All the barley for this expression comes from the Hook Head farm in Ireland's County Wexford. It showcases the influence of coastal terroir with the proximity to the sea imparting subtle notes of salt and a slightly briny character to the final product. It's another of Waterford's exploration of how even subtle changes in a barley's growing environment can drastically change a whisky's flavour profile.
Tasting Note:
Nose - Opens with a whisper of sea spray and flinty minerality, followed by ripe orchard fruit and warm spice notes like clove and cinnamon.
Palate - A burst of white pepper and a salty tang, followed by sweet citrus, honey, and a hint of caramel.
Finish - Medium-long with a lingering spice, a touch of salinity, and hints of orchard fruits.
The Producer:
Waterford Whisky is an Irish distillery on an obsessive quest to uncover the impact of terroir on whisky. Founded by Mark Reynier, a renegade in the spirits industry, Waterford champions a barley-forward approach. They work with a network of Irish farmers, carefully selecting barley grown in unique soils and microclimates across the country. Each harvest is distilled separately, resulting in a library of 'Single Farm Origin' whiskies. These individual expressions showcase the incredible flavour variations that terroir can impart. Waterford also crafts cuvées, artfully blending these whiskies to create complex, layered spirits. Their methods are meticulous, incorporating both cutting-edge technology and a deep respect for tradition. Waterford embraces organic and biodynamic farming practices, believing these yield the most flavourful barley. Their commitment to transparency is unmatched: each bottle has a TÉIREOIR code, allowing you to trace the whisky's entire journey from grain to glass.
