Description:
In their pioneering quest to unearth whisky’s most natural flavours, Waterford now present resurrected lost flavours from a bygone era. Part of their Arcadian Farm Origin range, which explores real rarity and the flavours derived from the old ways, their first Heritage bottling is made from a game-changing variety called Hunter. Named after pioneering plant breeder Dr Herbert Hunter, it was introduced in 1959, and was for two decades lauded for its distinctive ?avour. Modern distillers, obliged to use the yield-enhancing varieties, have been deprived of heritage ?avours – ?avours that evolved more naturally over centuries in harmony with Ireland’s terroirs. Waterford have ventured back in time to rediscover Irish varieties, the natural ?avours. Rare, game-changing barleys to a new era of single malt connoisseurs. Working alongside partners Minch Malt, and the Department of Agriculture, our Heritage distillations are a labour of love. Hunter had to be propagated from a 50 gram bag of seeds and upscaled over several years before there was enough to distil. Just 50 barrels were distilled from the first harvest.
