Product description
The approach of the Irish Waterford distillery to whisky production has been based on wine production since it was founded by Mark Reynier. The distillery team relies not only on barley sourced from regional farmers but also on scientific methods, such as locking the distillate on an olfactometer. Waterford's main focus is on capturing the terroir and biodynamics, which encompasses the natural factors of land, cultivation, barley type, climate and season. The barley for Fenniscourt Peated 1.1 comes from farmer Ger Byrne's Fenniscourt Farm. With the smoky bottling, the distillery returns to the origins of Irish whiskey production. In order to lose as little of the 'terroir' as possible, Waterford whiskey is only distilled twice, unlike other Irish whiskeys. Maturation takes place in four different types of casks and Waterford is the first distillery to use Irish peat from Ballyteague in County Kildare since the 1850s.

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.

Kommentar: holt mich leider nicht so sehr ab. Hat interessante Nuancen, für mich jedoch kein gutes PLV für das Gebotene.
