Product description
The Waterford Heritage: Goldthorpe 1.1 is the successor to the Heritage: Hunter 1.1 whisky and was bred from a lost variety of barley from Donoughmore that was rediscovered by Dr Hunter. In collaboration with the Irish Department of Agriculture, the heritage grain was painstakingly and expensively re-grown from a single packet of seed over several years with Waterford's maltings until the yield was sufficient for distilling. For the maturation of Heritage: Goldthorpe 1.1, 40% first fill American oak casks are used, with 24% Virgin Oak Casks, 18% Premium French Casks and Waterford's signature Vin Doux Naturel Casks at 18%. The last barrels used were filled with Moscatel and port wine.

Distillery video
The Distillery: Waterford
The Waterford Distillery was created in 2015 by converting a former Guinness Brewery in Waterford, in the very south of Ireland. The distillery's founder Mark Reynier was formerly the mastermind behind the rebuilding of Islay Distillery Bruichladdich. The former Wine merchant approaches Whisky (spelled without an 'e', even if they come frome Ireland) production in a similar way to Wine production: He wants to capture the terroir, i.e. the origin-specific character of the grain, with his Whiskies.
