Waterford Heritage - Hunter 1.1
Waterford Distillery
Tasting Notes
This whiskey from Waterford distillery is a journey back in time, a glimpse into the past through the revived use of Dr Herbert Hunter's flavorful barley variety from the 1950s. The Hunter 1.1 is a limited release of just 50 barrels, each one a treasure trove of captivating aromas and flavors. On the nose, it unveils notes of sun-dried hay, pencil shavings, oaky spice, and crisp apple, inviting you into its world. The palate is rich and indulgent, with buttery shortbread, a hint of orange oil, fragrant orchard fruits, dusty grains, and rounded spices. The finish lingers with a touch of oaky char and green oak, a reminder of the whiskey's unique maturation in a combination of American oak, French oak, and French sweet wine casks. A true testament to the art of whiskey-making and a celebration of forgotten ingredients.
