WATERFORD SFO Lakefield Edition 1.1

A revolution has shaken up the whisky category in 2020: Waterford Distillery!
Spearheaded by the celebrated 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 return with a series of 3 new Single Farms, as accomplished, precise and complex as ever.

This edition has been distilled from barley grown and harvested in 2016 in County Laois by the enigmatic Seamus Duggan, voted farmer of the year in 2019 by the Waterford teams.
The very rich and fertile loamy, well-drained soil is the source of a very pastry-like single malt, rich in malty, indulgent flavours, sublimated by resinous, floral and sweet spice aromas.
