Using 100% Irish barley, which is widely considered to be the world’s finest, their new Single Farm Origin series is an uber-provenance range of limited edition natural whiskies that explore Irish terroir one farm, one place, at a time. They are expressions of precision and rarity, showcasing barley flavours derived from individual Irish farms and harvests.

Waterford Distillery

Waterford Distillery is located in the historic town of Waterford on Ireland's south-east coast, a region known for its rich agricultural traditions. Founded in 2015 by Mark Reynier, former director of Bruichladdich Distillery, Waterford has quickly distinguished itself for its unique approach to whisky production.

A unique feature of Waterford Distillery is their emphasis on terroir, applying the concept from the wine world to whisky. They use only locally grown barley from different farms, with each batch reflecting the unique characteristics of the farm's particular terroir. The distillery documents and tracks every aspect of the production process, from field to bottle, ensuring transparency and traceability.

Waterford whiskies are known for their distinct and complex flavour profiles, with notes of fruit, spice and grain, which vary depending on the origin of the barley. Maturation takes place in a combination of ex-bourbon, French oak and Vin Doux Naturel (VDN) casks, contributing to the depth and versatility of the whiskies.

The combination of a beautiful location, innovative techniques and a strong commitment to quality makes Waterford Distillery a leading name in the world of Irish whiskey.
