To obtain more intense and expressive barley aromas, we need to go back in time. Goldthorpe is a variety discovered in Yorkshire in 1889 - over a century ago - before being introduced to Ireland. It is a tall-stemmed, wide-spaced variety that was extensively field-tested in Ireland in the first decade of the 1900s.
Waterford, in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture and maltsters over a number of years, increased production of this century-old barley from a single small seed packet to have enough to create Waterford Heritage Goldthorpe whisky - a total of 162 casks / 6500 bottles worldwide for this limited edition.
This is a true rarity in the whisky world. This is the only bottle of single malt whisky produced 100% from the Goldthorpe variety. It's a taste of a bygone era, of an Arcadian approach to farming. It's an extremely expressive, naturally flavorful Waterford whisky.
