THE WHOLE, GREATER THAN SIMPLY THE SUM OF THE PARTS
Influenced by the world’s greatest winemakers, Waterford obsessively brings the same intellectual drive, methodology and rigour to Single Malt whisky
Soon I will offer the single farm origins that have been released a while ago. I just didn’t come around uploading these bottles.
Any one Single Farm Origin represents a component farm – a solo voice. Waterford is further intrigued by what happens when these component farms are brought together – to layer the voices for more harmony & complexity in a Waterford Cuvée.
For now I offer you the Waterford Cuvée.
The Cuvée, a synthesis of Single Farm Origins, an enigmatic gestalt, a milestone in our journey. The definitive Waterford Whisky. Our LodeStar.
Head Distiller’s Observations
Appearance: Golden sunrise with intense oils.
Nose: Red apples, fresh dry soil, breadcrust, green foliage, lavender, digestive biscuits, oranges, barmbrack, over ripe banana skin, a summer flower bed, fresh mint, coffee cake.
Taste: Clove sweets, white pepper, oily, grapefruit, lemon zest, dark chocolate, dry toast, cherries, granola bar, dried herbs, aniseed, green olives, 3 peel marmalade.
Finish: Pepper up front with oily spiciness that softens, starts dry but then gets mouth-watering & lingers where I close my eyes and relax!
