Waterford Ballymorgan Edition 1.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey Cuvée
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's terroir-driven approach can invite skepticism, but this bottling delivers undeniable distinctiveness. The Ballymorgan barley gives the whiskey a mineral depth and structural complexity that sets it apart from smoother, simpler Irish malts. At 50% ABV, it has the backbone to reveal its layers slowly over an evening.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Intensely aromatic with ripe peach, warm honey, and toasted almond. Underneath sits a layer of vanilla and a faintly earthy, mineral quality from the terroir-focused grain.
Palate
Full-bodied and textured, with dried fruit, caramel, and a distinct nuttiness. The midpalate introduces clove spice and a creamy coconut note that adds richness without cloying sweetness.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering dried fruit, earthy tones, and gentle oak. The spice recedes slowly, leaving a clean cereal note.
