The Waterford Distillery is exploring Irish terroir and how it relates to barley and whisky with its Single Farm Origin series - a noble and worthwhile pursuit! This is one of the first releases from the series, made exclusively using Taberna barley grown by David Walsh-Kemmis on his Ballykilcavan farm in Co. Laois. After distillation, the whisky is matured in a combination of French and American oak, and then bottled at 50% ABV with no chill-filtration or additional colouring.
Amaretti biscuits, cocoa, warm sawdust and white pepper, growing fruity esters.
Pear skin, sugared almonds, seeded loaf and a touch of pine.
Apple chips and an enjoyable hint of hoppy bitterness.
