Using Hunter Barley a heritage Irish barley variety. Found in a seed bank this variety was resurrected for the first time in 50 years as this flavoursome barley had been superseded by varieties with higher yields. It took Waterford a few years to get from a few grains to a field of barley.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
