The Waterford Ballymorgan: Edition 1.1 Single Farm Origin is a remarkable single malt Irish whisky that forms part of Waterford's distinctive Single Farm Origin series. This series emphasizes the unique concept of terroir in whisky production, with each individual farm contributing to a distinct whisky bearing its name. The Ballymorgan edition is crafted exclusively with Overture barley harvested from the Ballymorgan farm of Robert Milne, a fifth-generation farmer in County Wexford. The barley is nurtured in fertile fields with loamy, clay soils derived from slate and granite, part of the renowned Clonroche Series of soils.
Distilled in 2016, this exceptional whisky was matured for four years in a mix of first-fill American oak, premium French oak, and vin doux naturel casks. Bottled at a robust 50% ABV without chill-filtration or coloring, the resulting whisky boasts complex fruity aromas of milk chocolate, rhubarb, and custard, accompanied by a palate of Granny Smith green apples and sweet notes of caramel and custard. The finish is gentle yet leaves a warm, lingering kick.
This edition, one of the initial releases from Waterford's Single Farm Origin series, has become highly sought after. It is a unique expression of the Clonroche Series terroir, demonstrating the profound impact of soil and environment on a whisky’s flavor profile.
