Waterford Sheestown Edition 4.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's terroir-driven project continues to produce compelling results. This fourth edition from the Sheestown farm shows how Irish barley's origin shapes whiskey in meaningful ways. The mineral backbone here sets it apart from conventional Irish single malts — it drinks like a specific place, not a style.
Nose
Immediate green cut grass and honeydew melon give way to a cereal-rich maltiness. Underneath lies a gentle floral rosewater note and a distinct earthy minerality that recalls wet limestone after rain.
Palate
Creamy and textured, with honey and vanilla custard leading into orchard fruit — peach and baked apple. The mid-palate introduces a woody spice with clove accents and an almost saline earthiness that adds real depth.
Finish
Long and evolving, with lingering green grass, earthy minerality, and a honeyed malt sweetness that slowly fades.

Food Pairing
Pan-seared diver scallops on a vibrant pea purée with mint oil and a squeeze of lemon. The sweetness of the scallop resonates with the whiskey's honey and peach notes, while the earthy minerality of the spirit bridges to the green, vegetal purée.
Distilled from barley grown exclusively on the Sheestown farm in County Kilkenny by Mark Whitmore's team at Waterford Distillery, where terroir — the specific field, soil, and climate — is treated as the defining variable in whiskey production.

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 Irish Whiskey
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. The extended maturation has produced a whiskey of genuine complexity, with dark fruit and wood spice in beautiful balance. It's the kind of dram that asks you to sit quietly and simply feel its warmth — words can wait.

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.
