Waterford Sheestown Edition 7.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's terroir-driven approach to Irish whiskey reaches its most articulate expression in the Sheestown series. This seventh edition from the same farm demonstrates vintage-to-vintage consistency in character while revealing the particular stamp of the Sheestown barley. It's Irish whiskey that tastes like a specific place on the map — and that's the whole point.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Green cut grass and white flowers open brightly, followed by toasted barley and a subtle honeyed sweetness. A faint mineral note, almost like wet stone, sits quietly beneath.
Palate
The texture is oily and concentrated, with green apple and fresh malt giving way to vanilla custard and a touch of white pepper. The midpalate develops an earthy complexity — chalk and loam — that grounds the fruit beautifully.
Finish
Medium-long with lingering malt, dried herbs, and a clean mineral fade.

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.

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.
