Waterford Sheestown Edition 6.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's single-farm approach strips away blending shortcuts and asks whether Irish terroir is real. Sheestown 6.1 answers emphatically. This is a whiskey defined by what it doesn't add — no peat, no heavy cask influence — letting the grain speak in its own voice.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Fresh cut grass and green apple give way to a gentle honeyed sweetness. There's a faint floral quality — almost rosewater — layered over barley malt and a whisper of vanilla from the oak.
Palate
Clean and precise, with a mineral-driven mid-palate that speaks directly to terroir. Peach, honey, and toasted cereal notes develop, framed by a gentle woody spice and just a touch of coconut from the cask.
Finish
Medium-long, with lingering malt sweetness and a dry, earthy close that pulls you back to the barley's origin.

Food Pairing
The whiskey's barley sweetness and nutty undertones pair beautifully with brown butter's toasted richness, while the halibut provides a clean protein canvas for the pairing.
Former Bruichladdich head Mark Reynier founded Waterford Distillery to prove that barley terroir matters in whiskey, sourcing grain from individual Irish farms and vinifying each lot separately before distillation.

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.

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

This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection.
