Waterford Ballymorgan: Edition 1.2 Single Farm Origin is a single malt whisky that showcases the unique terroir of Ballymorgan farm. This expression is part of Waterford's Single Farm Origin series, which emphasizes the influence of individual farms on the flavor profile of the whisky. At just 4 years old, this whisky is relatively young, yet it offers a complex and intriguing experience for both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
The whisky is crafted using 100% Irish barley, which is grown exclusively on Ballymorgan farm. This dedication to single-origin ingredients allows the natural characteristics of the barley and the farm's terroir to shine through. The result is a spirit that is both vibrant and nuanced, with a distinct sense of place. The maturation process in a combination of American and French oak casks adds layers of depth and complexity to the whisky.
On the nose, the whisky presents a fresh and inviting aroma, with notes of green apple and barley sugar. The palate is equally engaging, offering a harmonious blend of sweet and fruity flavors, complemented by a subtle hint of oak. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that invites another sip. This whisky is a testament to Waterford's commitment to quality and innovation in the world of single malt whisky.
