Waterford The Cuvee
Regular price $105.00
The Waterford distillery rigorously applies the ancient terroir methodology to today’s verdant landscape of Ireland, home of the world’s finest barley. Now for the first time in single malt whisky – unashamedly inspired by the legendary châteaux of France – they have reached the apogee of this radical philosophy. The Cuvée, a synthesis of Single Farm Origins, an enigmatic gestalt, a milestone in the journey. The distillery claims this to be the definitive Waterford Whisky their LodeStar as it were.
