Description

A revolution shook the whisky category in 2020: Waterford Distillery! Led by the renowned Mark Reynier, the project reemphasized barley, at the heart of the final aromatic profile of a single malt, thanks to an ambitious triptych of Terroir, Traceability, and Transparency. Inspired by the greatest winemakers and the formidable richness of the Irish terroir, coupled with elite and cutting-edge production methods. This Heritage Hunter 1.1 is a limited edition Irish single malt, highlighting a historic barley variety named Hunter, which was introduced in 1959 and resurrected from a 50-gram bag of seeds after disappearing from production in the 1970s. It is part of Waterford's Arcadian Farm Origin range, exploring unique flavors through different agricultural techniques and terroirs [4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 26, 27, 31, 34, 35, 38].
