Six years later, his Waterford Distillery enriches the whisky world with distillates that are the result of the \u003cstrong\u003eradical implementation of terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e. In line with the principle known from the wine-growing world, the Irish barley for Waterford is cultivated, stored, malted, and distilled separately. This is because terroir is the realization that soil composition, sun exposure, or location lead to clear differences – not only in the barley itself but also in the aroma of Single Malts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach Waterford bottling explores a location in the Irish core region for barley cultivation where the distillery is located. \u003cstrong\u003eTerroir by terroir, the exclusive \"Single Farm Origins\" reflect their place of origin in taste.\u003c\/strong\u003e For this, Reynier and co. are currently working with 72 farms. For example, Ballykilcavan and Bannow Island, whose barley thrives protected by picturesque old forests on the one hand, and is exposed to salty Atlantic winds on the coast on the other. Ballykilcavan Edition 1.1 and Bannow Island Edition 1.1, Waterford's pioneering spirits, sold out very quickly due to high demand. Now the distillery is following up with new editions of the two completely different terroirs. \u003cstrong\u003eBallykilcavan Edition 1.2\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBannow Island Edition 1.2\u003c\/strong\u003e are as individual and complex as their predecessors. \u003cstrong\u003eAlso limited, they differ in the composition of the casks and the slightly longer maturation period.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey are supplemented by two further single-farm bottlings.\u003c\/strong\u003e The barley from Sheestown in County Kilkenny grows on a hilly terroir of well-drained clay soil. It is the distillation base for Waterford's \u003cstrong\u003ehoney-sweet and spicy Sheestown Edition 1.1\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the rain shadow of the Wicklow Mountains, Robert Milne's family has been cultivating the fertile fields for five generations, whose barley was distilled in 2016 into the \u003cstrong\u003efruity and sparkling Ballymorgan Edition 1.1\u003c\/strong\u003e. The whiskies are bottled at 50% vol. and in natural form without colourings, chill-filtration or additives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52769659126092,"sku":"6061","price":67.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/7235\/4636\/files\/301015-00-01.jpg?v=1750124477","url":"https:\/\/ka3irg-7v.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/waterford-single-farm-origin-sheestown-1-1","provider":"Feinste-Weine.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
