The Waterford Ballykilcavan: Edition 1.2 Single Farm Origin is an extraordinary whisky crafted with 100% Taberna barley grown by David Walsh-Kemmis in County Laois, west of the Barrow. This release, distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2020, is the second offering from Ballykilcavan. It has been matured in a blend of French and American oak casks for over three and a half years, making it slightly older than Edition 1.1. Remarkably, some of the spirit from the first edition was included in this batch, adding an extra layer of depth and complexity. On the nose, this whisky greets you with juicy red grape scents, complemented by an aromatic bouquet of dried fruits, apricots, and dates. The palate offers a symphony of flavors including cinnamon spice, chewy toffee, and white pepper, all wrapped in a rich, oily mouthfeel. The long finish is slightly oily and features a satisfying blend of chocolate, dry spice, and malty notes. Waterford Distillery is pioneering the concept of Terroir in Irish whisky, emphasizing that the primary ingredient, barley, significantly shapes the distinctive flavor profile. Each farm's unique environment is captured in the whisky bearing its name. This Ballykilcavan Edition 1.2 is a highly sought-after release from this innovative and avant-garde distillery. Bottled at 50% ABV, it has no chill-filtration or additional coloring, ensuring the purest expression of its origin.
