- Description
- Waterford's inaugural Single Farm Origin from Sheestown uses barley grown by Phillip O'Brien on a single farm, exploring how Irish terroir influences the final spirit—a first for this ambitious distillery. Aged in a combination of first-fill American oak, virgin oak, French oak, and vin doux naturel casks, the whisky layers oak influence, subtle fruit character, and natural sweetness. The varied cask profile creates complexity and texture, with the wine cask influence adding gentle dried fruit and wine-like depth. A compelling expression for those interested in understanding how farming decisions affect whisky character.
