Waterford Cuvee Irish Single Malt

In a nutshell:
Spice, citrus, and orchard fruit come together in this expertly crafted blend of Waterford's best.

The lowdown:
Waterford Cuvée is a flagship release from the Waterford Distillery. It's a carefully constructed blend of multiple Single Farm Origin whiskies - those made from barley grown on individual Irish farms. The foundation of the Cuvée lies in meticulously crafted Single Farm Origin whiskies. Each of these showcases the unique flavour profile derived from the barley's specific farm and growing conditions. Being a blend of different terroirs it offers a kaleidoscope of flavours and shows how a single variety of grain can produce such diverse and delicious whiskies depending on where it's grown.

Tasting Note:
Nose - Full of orchard fruits and a burst of fresh citrus, followed by warm spice notes of ginger and cinnamon. Honeyed sweetness and a hint of vanilla linger in the background.
Palate - Creamy texture with a vibrant mix of spice and fruit - black pepper, clove, baked apple, and a touch of stone fruit. Layers of dark chocolate and toasted almonds emerge.
Finish - Long and satisfying. The spice fades into a gentle warmth with lingering hints of orchard fruit and a touch of honeyed sweetness.

The Producer:
Waterford Whisky, founded by Mark Reynier, explores terroir's impact on whisky by championing a barley-forward approach. Collaborating with Irish farmers, they select barley from unique soils and microclimates, distilling each harvest separately to create 'Single Farm Origin' whiskies. These expressions highlight terroir-driven flavour variations. They also produce complex cuvées by blending these whiskies. Committed to organic and biodynamic farming, they believe it yields the most flavourful barley. Transparency is key: each bottle features a TÉIREOIR code, tracing the whisky's journey from grain to glass.
