Waterford Micro Cuvée Lomhar Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's obsession with terroir reaches its most concentrated expression in the Micro Cuvée range. Lomhar gathers whiskey from their most expressive single farm origins into a blend that amplifies rather than averages their character. It's Irish whiskey for people who care about where grain is grown, not just where it's distilled.
Nose
Ripe peach and honeycomb open first, followed by toasted almond and a gentle waxiness. Fresh-cut grass emerges alongside a subtle vanilla sweetness from the oak.
Palate
Richly textured with layers of honey, orchard fruit, and malt. A creamy mid-palate gives way to earthy cereal notes and delicate clove spice. The terroir-driven barley character is distinct and identifiable.
Finish
Medium-long, with lingering peach, a whisper of cocoa, and a clean grassy freshness. The barley's imprint is unmistakable through the close.

Food Pairing
Lightly smoked trout on a bed of watercress with a honey-mustard vinaigrette bridges the whiskey's honeyed sweetness and grassy undertones, while the smoke echoes the subtle oak char.
Mark Reynier, the man who revived Bruichladdich, brought his terroir-first philosophy to Ireland's southeast coast at Waterford Distillery, sourcing heritage barley from individual Irish farms and vinifying each lot separately before blending.

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.

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.

A quietly confident pour that fits perfectly into the 'earned through craft' ethos.
