Waterford - 'The Cuvee' Irish Single Malt Whisky

This is a one-of-a-kind wonder-structure that we call our Cathedral of Barley – and next to it, as we add more growers, stands our Chapel. Built specifically for our requirements, a logistical challenge in its own right, without each farm’s individual crop slumbering in its own bin, in separation and ideal conditions, there can be no integrity or traceability. An unsung hero, the Cathedral is the terroir-enabler.

We rigorously apply the ancient terroir methodology to today’s verdant landscape of Ireland, home of the world’s finest barley. Now for the first time in single malt whisky – unashamedly inspired by the legendary châteaux of France – we reach the apogee of this radical philosophy.

Our distillery, the technological marvel we call the Facilitator, enables us to create elite whisky – farm by farm, terroir by terroir. State-of-the-art equipment marries with ancient knowledge, locally grown Irish barley with extended fermentations, unhurried distillation & an array of exceptional oak. It has provided a unique library of Single Farm Origins – each expressing its own identity, its own voice.

This unprecedented spectrum of flavours must now reach its crescendo: we have celebrated & explored the singles; now we produce our more immersive concept album. For layered together inthis cerebral fusion of flavours, these component Waterford Whiskies come together, culminating in our ultimate experience: textured, complex & compelling.

TERROIR IS THE 3D INTERACTION ON A PLANT OF SOIL, MICROCLIMATE AND SITE. IT INFLUENCES HOW THE BARLEY GROWS AND THUS THE FLAVOURS CONTAINED WITHIN THE GRAIN. CAPTURED FARM BY FARM, TERROIR REQUIRES AN EXTENSIVE LOGISTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO VERIFY AND PROVE ITS INFLUENCE – EACH TERROIR IS A NEW STARTING POINT FOR OUR WHISKY. WE ARE FASCINATED BY THESE NUANCES. WE HOPE YOU WILL BE TOO.
