Like its extremely restricted predecessor Waterford 1st Cuvée this can be a composition of a number of single farm origins that are usually distilled and bottled seperately. In actual fact the one farm origins will turn out to be much less necessary sooner or later – once they begin to transfer to wider releases we’ll be seeing extra of those assemblages.

Waterford The Cuvée (50%, OB 2021, 40.000 btl.)

Nostril: dusty barley, bread crust and complete grain biscuits throughout, in a very nice manner, joined by purple apples, hints of dried flowers and nutmeg. Behind this there may be citrus and orange peel, with a creamy spine and a few nougat.

Mouth: an oily-fruity profile with loads of texture and at all times revolving round these grainy notes. Porridge, toasted bread, adopted by cardamom and aniseed. A slight prickle of white pepper, then grapefruit peels, grassy notes and a touch of darkish chocolate. Thoughts you, the youth is apparent, particularly within the aftertaste which will get a tad uncooked and boozy.

End: medium, spicy and barely floral, with ginger and a great deal of oily cereals.

In a manner that is extra conventional, and extra historically Irish than a lot of the single farm origins. But it’s additionally probably the most all-round and balanced Waterford thus far. Fascinating whisk(e)y, a benchmark for start-up distilleries. Nonetheless obtainable from The Whisky Trade or Grasp of Malt as an example, or your native retailer after all.
