ELEMENT: BARLEY, LIFE

The provenance of our barley, where and how it is cultivated, is key. We have sourced an unprecedented 97 Irish farms, some organic, some biodynamic, growing barley on 19 distinct soil types. With a pioneering digital logistical system keeping track, each farmer’s crop is harvested, stored, malted and distilled separately. Thus we can capture in spirit each farm’s terroir, that subtle character shaped by micro-climate and soil. Individuality and integrity from field to barrel. We only distill one farm at a time so check back to see who’s passing through each week.

MORE ABOUT BIODYNAMICS

Adherents say that biodynamic preparations stimulate microbial activity in the soil, seed germination and root development. Critics say it’s barking mad. Find out here how growing biodynamic barley is different.
