WATERFORD SFO Ballyroe Edition 1.1

A revolution has shaken up the whisky category since 2020: Waterford Distillery!
Led by the renowned Mark Reynier, the project has put the emphasis back on barley, at the heart of the final aroma of a single malt, thanks to an ambitious triptych of Terroir, Traceability and Transparency.

Inspired by the greatest winemakers and thanks to the formidable richness of the Irish terroir, coupled with elite and avant-garde production methods, the distillery has created a sensation with a Single Farm Origin range acclaimed by critics and connoisseurs alike.
An expression of the complexity of a single terroir, a single farm, a single harvest... One place, one farm, at a time!

This year, Mark Reynier and his team are back with 2 new Single Farms, as accomplished, precise and complex as ever.

This edition was distilled from barley grown and harvested in 2015 in County Wexford by Simon Neville, a farmer for 40 years.
Strongly influenced by the sandy soil, which is sometimes dry and not very fertile in dry years, this expression, like the distillate, reveals beautiful fruity notes (rhubarb, orange, etc.) and gourmand notes (marzipan, dark chocolate, etc.), for a single malt full of balance and refinement.
