The Waterford Gaia: Edition 2.1 is a limited release Irish single malt whiskey, crafted meticulously from organic barley cultivated by a dedicated group of farmers. This exceptional whiskey represents the second edition of Waterford's Arcadian Series, which celebrates radical growers and alternative cultivation philosophies, including the use of heritage grains and unconventional farming methods. Distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2021 at the renowned Waterford Distillery in Ireland, this whiskey is a proud testament to sustainable agriculture and flavor-focused production methods. Aged in a sophisticated combination of first-fill American white oak, new American white oak, premium French oak, and sweet wine casks of the Vin Doux Naturelle type, the Gaia: Edition 2.1 offers a complex and nuanced flavor profile. The aroma captivates with notes of orange peel, citrus, almonds, chocolate, and cocoa. On the palate, it unravels flavors of toast, cherry, figs, liquorice root, and lemon, leading to a finish that is spicy with hints of white pepper, grapefruit, dry heat, liquorice, and cinnamon. Waterford Distillery has revolutionized the whiskey market by focusing on Single Farm Origin Whiskey, wherein barley from a single farm grows on land with unique soil and microclimate conditions, imparting a distinct terroir to the whiskey. The Gaia: Edition 2.1 is a celebration of this pioneering approach, with just 30,000 bottles available globally. Named after Gaia, the personification of the Earth in Greek mythology, this whiskey embodies the terroir-driven philosophy of Waterford Distillery, offering a unique flavor profile that deeply connects to the land and the farmers who nurture the barley.
Waterford Gaia: Edition 2.1 is unique for its use of organic barley from single farms, its complex aging process in multiple types of oak and sweet wine casks, and its focus on terroir, which imparts a distinct flavor profile similar to fine wine.
There were only 30,000 bottles of Waterford Gaia: Edition 2.1 released worldwide, making it a limited edition.
