Waterford

Micro Cuvée - Voyages Extraordinaires

Single Malt Whisky

Irlande

Mark Reynier, the former co-owner of Bruichladdich founded the Waterford distillery in 2015. Keen to emphasise the notion of terroir, he works closely with around 100 Irish farmers. The project has put the emphasis back on barley, at the heart of the final aroma of a single malt, through an ambitious triptych of 'Terroir, Traceability and Transparency'.

 

This "Extraordinary Journeys" micro-vintage is composed of four types of barley (Overture, Irina, Taberna and Propino) grown by 18 farmers on different sites.
Maturation took 3 years, 5 months and 27 days. The whisky casks were blended on 19 May 2021 before bottling in August 2021 (45% French oak casks from Château Margaux, 29% first fill American oak casks, 13% Vin Doux Naturel and 13% American virgin oak).
