Waterford

Luna - Edition 1.1

Single Malt Whisky

Irlande

  

Mark Reynier, the former co-owner of Bruichladdich founded the Waterford distillery in 2015. Keen to emphasise the notion of terroir, he works closely with around 100 Irish farmers. In 2016, he produced the first organic Irish malt distillate and more recently, following the example of the greatest winemakers, he decided to distil a whisky from biodynamically grown barley.
This bottling is part of the Arcadian series, an unconventional range of organic, biodynamic and heritage distillates.
Luna 1.1 is the first whisky to be made solely from biodynamic barley. To achieve this, Waterford worked with three barley growers in Ireland who practice biodynamic farming: Trevor Harris, John McDonnell and Alan Mooney. The Waterford growers have adopted biodynamic practices, including planting seeds according to specific phases of the moon, using horses to plough instead of machinery and burying cow horns filled with manure at certain times of the year for fertilisation benefits. The aim is to produce a living, chemical-free soil.
This Luna 1.1 whisky was matured in a combination of 35% first fill American oak casks, 17% new American oak casks, 26% premium French oak casks and 22% oak casks that had contained natural sweet wine.

                      

Tasting note:

Unpeated.

Colour: Apricot

Nose: Straight and rich. Plum, apricot marmalade, fresh fruit salad, iced coffee, lemon cake, milk chocolate and almonds, herbal tea and freshly cut hay notes, with a nice minerality.

Palate: Taut, spicy and vegetal. The spices (cloves, white pepper) are present throughout the tasting, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, malt and grapefruit, but also by vegetal flavours of great originality for a whisky, such as green peppers, jalapeños or peppermint tea.

Finish: Delicate and complex. The spicy bouquet on the palate continues to develop, with a slight acidity worthy of great dry white wines.

This is an incredibly different single malt, evoking the minerality of the soil and the vegetal notes of the barley on tasting, while retaining the very malty, greedy and spicy character that has made Waterford whiskies so successful.
With a remarkable tension, like a great white wine from the Loire, for example, this single malt placed under the protection of the Moon is at once complex, original and pleasant.
A unique experience, quite simply!

In 2016, he produced the first organic Irish malt distillate and more recently, following the example of the greatest winemakers, he decided to distil a whisky from biodynamically grown barley.

Using 100% Irish barley, recognised as the highest quality in the world, the Single Farm Origin range is a series of limited edition natural whiskies of the highest quality that reveal the Irish terroir farm by farm, place by place.

They are an expression of precision and rarity, revealing the aromas and flavours of barley grown on small Irish farms and varying with each harvest.

The ultimate aim is for the combination of these different single farms to create the most unique, complex and profound single malt whisky in the world. But within this range, they are the first step in revealing natural whiskies where barley and the influence of terroir come first.

Each bottle of Waterford whisky has the breakthrough innovation of a teireoir code. This code, once registered on the distillery's website (waterfordwhisky.com), opens up a series of unprecedented and interactive contents related to the single malt.

With an extensive photographic library and an unrivalled online tracking system, you can find out about the farm, the harvest, the farmer, but also details of the distillation process and a full view of the casks used for each Single Farm.

Teireoir: Proud of its origins, Waterford claims the Irish character of the terroirs it promotes, writing Éire (Ireland in Gaelic) in the term terroir.
