Tasting Notes
Waterford Peated - Lacken 1.1 is a true gem, a whiskey that transports you back to the bygone era of Irish distilling. As you pour a dram, the aroma beckons you with a lively symphony of barley, crisp apples, and pears, intertwined with a bold, briny smoke that hints at the spirit's coastal origins. This smoky veil is delicately balanced by a touch of mineral earthiness. Upon taking a sip, the oily texture envelops your palate with flavors reminiscent of a crackling bonfire, earthy tea, and delightful apple pastries, followed by the sweet, juicy notes of stone fruits. The finish lingers with a smoky caress, unveiling layers of pipe smoke, herbal tea, tar, and charred oak. Crafted from Arcadian barley grown on the estate and dried over Irish peat, this whiskey captures the essence of traditional Irish whiskey-making, offering a rare and captivating experience in every sip.
