Led by the famous Mark Reynier, the project has put the emphasis back on barley, at the heart of the final aroma of a single malt, thanks to an ambitious triptych Terroir, Traceability and Transparency. Inspired by the greatest winemakers and thanks to the tremendous richness of the Irish terroir, coupled with elite and avant-garde production methods, the distillery created the event with a Single Farm Origin range praised by critics like amateurs. The expression of the complexity of a single terroir, a single farm, a single harvest … One place, one farm, at a time!

This year, Mark Reynier and his team are back with a series of 3 new Single Farms, still as successful, precise and complex.

This edition was distilled from barley grown by Francis Kehoe and harvested in 2016 in County Wexford. On his Lacken farm, which has been in the family for 4 generations, Francis can produce barley of exceptional quality thanks to the influence of the sandy and well-drained terroir that makes up his sloping field. But for this edition, Ned Gahan, the master distiller of Waterford went even further by composing the blend of barrels with the teams of La Maison du Whiskey, in a completely collaborative way.
