Waterford Rathclogh Single Malt Whiskey

Terroir (téireoir in Gaelic) does not play the same role in spirits production like it does when it comes to wine. But ask the Waterford distillery founder Mark Reynier and you'll get quite a different answer. His goal is to produce single malt whiskey made in Ireland that showcases the unique flavor profiles and provenance of the extraordinary barley of the emerald isle. The grain for this whiskey originates from a single farm—a way to demonstrate the importance of the variety grown & the land from which it comes. Butterscotch, citrus, hay, vanilla. The list goes on in part because the finish lingers forever. This whiskey may be young, but it's certainly worth contemplating. I can't wait to see what else they make!
