Waterford Dunmore Edition 1.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's single-farm-origin program is the most ambitious terroir experiment in Irish whiskey. Dunmore Edition 1.1 sources its barley from a single farm in County Kilkenny, and the result is a whiskey that genuinely tastes different from its siblings. This is Irish whiskey for wine drinkers — the conversation about place is front and center.
Nose
Fresh-cut grass and green apple leap from the glass, followed by a wave of honeycomb and toasted barley. A delicate floral note — rosewater and meadow flowers — weaves through the malt backbone. Hints of clove spice emerge with time.
Palate
Medium-bodied with excellent viscosity. The palate delivers on the nose's promise: barley-forward and cereal-rich, with layers of peach preserves, vanilla custard, and a thread of earthy minerality. The 50% ABV gives it real presence without aggression.
Finish
Long and drying, with toasted oak, hazelnut, and a lingering green freshness that circles back to the terroir-driven character. The grain signature persists beautifully.

Waterford Fenniscourt Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford
Waterford's Single Farm Origin series is the purest expression of terroir-driven whiskey being made anywhere. Fenniscourt Edition 2.1 deepens the conversation started by its predecessor, revealing how a second distillation from the same barley field reads differently with more cask time and evolving maturation. The mineral backbone is the scar of the land itself.

The Dublin Liberties
Murder Lane 13 Year Old is a brooding, contemplative Irish single malt that trades the category's typical brightness for smoldering depth.

Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength
Keeper's Heart
Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
The Dubliner 6yr Cask Strength Double Barrel Irish Whiskey
The Dubliner
This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection. The six years of maturation provide enough oak influence to give structure without overwhelming the grain character. A perfect fireside pour as the harvest season draws to its close.
