The Waterford

We have distilled a veritable & verifiable showcase of terroir-derived natural flavours – over a hundred Single Farm Origins – each defined by that beguiling interaction of soil & microclimate. The taste of a place. Here we have brought together, layer by layer, 24 of those origins, each a standalone distillation of one harvest. After six years in a superlative spectrum of French & American oak for harmony & balance we present our most expressive, profound & complex single malt– where the whole is greater than simply the sum of its parts.

 

APPEARANCE: Amber gold with light like a coral sunrise and thick oils that slowly descend the glass, with a stop or two on the way.

NOSE: Interesting combination of red apple on homemade brown bread, washed down with a cup of tea, delish! Three peel marmalade, white pepper tingle, mixed dry herbs, cola cubes and sherbet sweets, light lavender in fresh soil.

TASTE: Spices gently dancing on my tongue, lemon and strawberry shortbread biscuits, black pepper, grapefruit, chilli chocolate, oyster crackers, barley sugar, summer fruit compote, liquorice allsorts sweets.

FINISH: Long and dry gentle spiciness that lasts and leads to mouth-watering with dried fruits which all meanders on.
