This peated expression from Ireland’s Waterford distillery is a single malt whiskey distilled from barley grown at Ballybannon farm. The farm where the barley is grown sits near a peat bog, and abiding by the age old saying of ‘if it grows together, it goes together’, the folks at Waterford found this Irish barley and peat combination worked brilliantly. The barley used here is kilned to 47ppm, but doesn’t overpower the core character of this Irish whiskey.

Distillery Information

Ireland’s Waterford Distillery was founded back in 2015 by Mark Reynier, formerly the co-owner of Bruichladdich. Interestingly, the distillery is actually a converted brewery which had previously produced that well-known Irish stout, Guinness. These days, whiskey is the drink of choice being made at Waterford, with a focus on local barley, showing that terroir most definitely has an impact on the final spirit. Reynier and his team work with a host of local farms to create Single Farm Origin single malt whiskeys, which debuted in 2020. Not only that, Waterford has also produced the first Irish whiskey that has been certified as organic by the Organic Trust Waterford Arcadian Gaia!
