Waterford Tinnashrule Edition 3.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's single-farm origin philosophy makes the binding agent literal: a specific piece of earth, a single barley harvest. Edition 3.1 from Tinnashrule shows how terroir concepts, once reserved for wine, can produce meaningful variation in whiskey. The earthy mineral thread running through this dram is the proof.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Bright orchard fruit—peach and green apple—arrives first, followed by toasted grain and a gentle earthiness. Underneath, honeyed malt and a trace of rosewater develop with patience.
Palate
Full-bodied and textured. Barley-forward sweetness is anchored by earthy, mineral notes specific to the Tinnashrule farm's terroir. Mid-palate delivers buttery richness, dried apricot, and a dusting of cocoa. The grain character is robust and persistent.
Finish
Long and layered, with earthy malt and lingering peach stone. A faint woody spice holds steady at the close.

Food Pairing
The whiskey's earthy barley character and buttery texture find a natural partner in the nutty, semi-hard Coolea, amplified by the toasty crunch of walnut bread.
Distilled from barley grown on the Tinnashrule farm in County Wexford, this third edition traces the evolving character of a single terroir across successive growing seasons under head distiller Ned Gahan.

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.

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.

A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
