Waterford Bannow Island 1.2 Whiskey

Waterford Bannow Island Edition 1.2 is a distinctive single malt Irish Whiskey, part of the Single Farm Origin series, distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2020 at 50.0% ABV. This expression showcases the concept of terroir, utilizing Ouverture barley harvested from Bannow Island fields. A complex cask maturation regimen, including First Fill ex-American Whiskey (36%), Virgin American Oak (21%), Premium French Oak (17%), and Vin Doux Naturel (26%), imparts a layered profile. The nose offers heather, spring flowers, and damp earth, leading to a palate of malty sweetness, vanilla, tropical fruits, and toasted oak. It culminates in a long finish featuring soft nutmeg, lemon salt, and a ginger dryness. This is a bold and mineral-backed Irish single malt for the discerning whisky enthusiast.
