Waterford Dunmore Edition 3.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's terroir-driven approach finds its purest expression in single-farm bottlings like Dunmore. This third edition shows a whiskey that is simultaneously mineral-heavy and feather-light — grounded in the earth it came from, yet lifted by careful distillation and precise cask management.
Nose
Bright and green — cut grass and green apple dominate, with a floral rosewater delicacy underneath. Honey and malt arrive with time, along with a faint mineral earthiness that speaks of the farm's terroir.
Palate
Medium-weight with a waxy, almost ethereal texture. Peach and vanilla carry the midpalate, while a gentle clove spice emerges on the back end. The barley character is clean and expressive.
Finish
Medium-long, with lingering honey and a return of that green, grassy freshness. A slight woody dryness closes things out.

Food Pairing
The sweetness and mineral quality of seared scallops mirror the whiskey's honeyed, earthy character, while a bright pea purée connects to the grassy freshness on the nose.
At Waterford Distillery, former Bruichladdich visionary Mark Reynier traces each bottling back to a single Irish farm, cataloguing soil, aspect, and barley variety to prove that terroir belongs to whiskey as much as wine.

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.

It demonstrates how careful bourbon-cask maturation can produce something luminous in its clarity — an Irish blend that makes transparency feel like a deliberate art. An ideal daily pour that rewards attentive, unhurried sipping.
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.
Kinahan Small Batch Irish Whiskey
Kinahan's
Kinahan's Small Batch is an Irish whiskey that earns its place through careful blending and a thoughtful non-chill-filtered approach at a robust 46% ABV. It delivers well above its modest price point, offering the kind of textured, layered experience that rewards attention without demanding it. A quietly confident pour that fits perfectly into the 'earned through craft' ethos.
