The anticipated release is Waterford's flagship single malt whisky, inspired by Bordeaux’s most celebrated chateaux. To create The Cuvée, Head Distiller Ned Gahan layered together 25 individually distilled Single Farm Origins, drawn from a combination of premium American and French oak barrels. Each Single Farm Origin whisky is made exclusively from Irish-grown barley, harvested, malted and distilled separately for complete flavour integrity. After months of maturation, these are married to create a layered, profound and compelling taste experience. Waterford The Cuvée is bottled at 50% ABV, Non-chill filtered and free of colourant.
Tasting notes
Golden
Rich and intense aromatic profile, with notes of fresh red apples, bread crust and green grass.
The palate agrees with the nose. At first, fresh apple notes, orange peel & lemon zest. After a few seconds in the glass, thicker flavours start to appear, clove sweets, dark cherries, chocolate and granola followed by an oily texture and hints of coffee.
The finish is long, peppery and oily with the typical malty character of Waterford's whiskies.
A whisky full of diversity & character, made from the world's finest barley 100% Irish grown. Non-chill filtered and free of colouring & additives. Fully matured without any finishes.This is a Terroir-Driven Single Malt Whisky.
