A revolution has shaken the whiskey category in 2020: Waterford Distillery! 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 formidable 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 and harvested in 2016 in County Laois by the enigmatic Seamus Duggan, voted Farmer of the Year in 2019 by the Waterford teams. The very rich and fertile soil, clay type and well drained, is at the origin of a very pastry single malt, rich in malty and greedy flavors, sublimated by aromas of resinous trees, flowers and sweet spices.
