The Waterford distillery releases new bottlings from the Arcadian series, this time, two peated single malt whiskies made from two types of Single Farm Origin barley both with distinctive terroirs and flavour. Each farm's harvest was peated to different levels: Fenniscourt's barley to 38ppm and Ballybannon's barley to 47ppm. Fenniscourt was matured in a combination of 37% first-fill US oak; 19% virgin US oak; 20% Premium French oak; and 24% Vin Doux Naturel.
