Waterford
Micro Cuvée - Rue du Nil
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. The project has put the emphasis back on barley, at the heart of the final aroma of a single malt, through an ambitious triptych of 'Terroir, Traceability and Transparency'.
Born from the collaboration between the Irish distillery and the Parisian restaurant "Frenchie's", this micro-cuvée named "Rue du Nil" succeeds "Voyages Extraordinaires", the first exclusive bottling made by Waterford for a partner, unveiled in 2021.
Frenchie's chef/owner Gregory Marchand, head sommelier Aurélien Massé and Waterford's head distiller Ned Gahan joined forces to take on the challenge of seeking out the equivalent of the rarest and most intense wines.
Aged in three types of casks, ex-bourbon (24%), Chateau Palmer French oak (27%) and Muscatel (49%), it was made from 100% biodynamically grown barley.
Exclusive edition limited to 1,200 bottles

Tasting notes:
Unpeated.
Nose : Fresh, elegant. On the nose, notes of white fruit (pear, apple), aromatic plants (sage, verbena), vanilla and candied lemon rub shoulders with malty aromas of remarkable purity of expression. With aeration, the aromatic palette gradually reveals itself to be peppery, liquorice and honeyed (acacia). Then, taking resolutely fruity paths, it brings a basket full of Williams pears to the fore.
Palate: Lively, racy. Herbaceous (cut hay, straw) and milky (coconut, almond), the attack in the mouth is also spicy (ginger, coriander) and slightly medicinal (tiger balm). The mid-palate is harmoniously reminiscent of a green barley field. On the finish, flavours of yellow melon, white peach and almond add a fruity dimension to the palette.
Finish: Long, subtle. On the finish, notes of eucalyptus, rosemary and savory underline the empyreumatic and freshly herbal character of this Waterford. On the aftertaste, vanilla flavours (custard) stretch the tasting time to infinity, ending in a deliciously malty, fruity (pear, mirabelle plum) and floral (lily, lavender) retro olfaction. Rich in dry extracts, the empty glass reveals notes of porridge, iris concrete and red fruits (raspberry, strawberry).

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.
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.
