Beschrijving van het product
The Irish Waterford distillery has an approach to whisky production that is very much based on winemaking. They only use barley that has been harvested in a particular place, in order to capture the 'terroir' of the region. The barley for this bottling comes from the Hook Head farm, where the barley grows on clay soils and is characterised by an extremely maritime terroir including salty storms and sea breezes. In order to lose as little of the 'terroir' as possible, Waterford Whisky is only distilled twice, unlike other Irish whiskeys. Maturation takes place in first-fill bourbon casks as well as fresh American and French oak barrels and sweet wine casks.

De Distilleerderij: Waterford
The Waterford distillery was founded in 2015 by Mark Reynier when he converted a former Guinness brewery in the south of Ireland. Reynier, who was previously responsible for rebuilding Bruichladdich and was originally a wine merchant, takes the same terroir-driven approach to whisky as he does to wine. The focus is on the origin-specific character of the grain. However, the ambitious journey came to an abrupt end in November 2024 when Waterford had to file for bankruptcy.
