Lacken

Two miles east of New Ross and the River Barrow, on the Wexford-Kilkenny border, lies An Leacain – The Hillside – the site of the rebel army camp on the eve of the Battle of Ross in 1798. Francis Kehoe has farmed here for four decades, his barley benefitting from well-drained, sloping fields of sandy loam of the famous Clonroche series, particularly good for deep roots.

Exclusif à la France, le Waterford Single Farm Origin Lacken: Edition 1.1 a été conçu en collaboration avec les équipes de La Maison du Whisky. Un assemblage de fûts unique, mais toujours l’orge au cœur du single malt. Découvrez son histoire, du champ à la bouteille, dès maintenant.
