Waterford The Cuvée Whiskey

Found it has an overwhelming sulphur smell and taste. I was looking forward to this after seeing all that goes into making whiskey at Waterford but was sadly let down.

Fantastic, high value session dram. Complex, chewy and fragrant - probably my favourite Waterford to date.

Light apple juice in colour, the overwhelming smell on first nosing is a yeasty bread like cookie dough smell. This combines with a lemon vanilla sensation, like lemon meringue pie - zesty but sweet. If you really get your nose in it tingles like sherbet.

Very fresh in the mouth, the citrus amplifies with the vanilla, making for a sweet and sour sensation. It's not especially spicy, but there is a sour candy type experience which makes your mouth curl up a bit.

The finish is a little unpleasant, that sourness remains with a little honey and the yeast taste.
