This single malt whisky is a product of Waterford Distillery, known for its meticulous approach to terroir and provenance. Each edition in the Single Farm Origin series is crafted from barley grown on a single farm, highlighting the unique characteristics imparted by the specific soil and microclimate. Dunbell Edition 1.1 is no exception, offering a distinct expression that reflects the essence of its origin.
The whisky is unpeated, allowing the natural flavors of the barley and the influence of the oak casks to shine through. It is matured in a combination of first-fill American oak, French oak, and Vin Doux Naturel casks, which contribute to its complex flavor profile. The result is a spirit that is both approachable for novices and intriguing for seasoned whisky enthusiasts.
On the palate, this whisky presents a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice, with layers of fruit and oak. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of its well-rounded character. This edition is a testament to Waterford's commitment to quality and the art of whisky making.
