Waterford Hook Head: Edition 1.1 Single Farm Origin 50% 700ml information

The Waterford Single Farm Origin Hook Head 1.1 Whisky is a unique Irish whisky crafted with a distinct maritime profile, reminiscent of island whiskies from Scottish distilleries. This exquisite spirit is made exclusively from barley grown by Martin Foley at Hook Head Farm, situated on the southern coast of Ireland. The farm's proximity to the Hook Head Lighthouse and the Atlantic Ocean imbues the whisky with a mineral-rich, slightly salty character, creating a truly memorable drinking experience. Bottled in 2021, this whisky boasts a high alcohol content of 50% ABV, akin to cask strength whiskies, and comes in a 700ml bottle. It is the first bottling of the first batch, with a limited release of 30,066 bottles. The aroma and taste present a captivating mix of salty, fruity, and earthy notes, with intriguing hints of salted caramel, bitter licorice, gingerbread, lemon peel, and chocolate with chili. Waterford Distillery, the innovative company behind the Hook Head 1.1 Whisky, places a strong emphasis on the concept of terroir in their whiskies. Founded by Mark Reynier, a veteran of both the wine and spirits industries, Waterford has transformed a former Guinness brewery in Waterford into a state-of-the-art distillery. The Single Farm Origin series, including Hook Head 1.1, showcases limited edition natural whiskies that explore the diverse Irish landscape by focusing on individual farms and their unique characteristics. The barley used in Hook Head 1.1 Whisky comes from 72 different Irish farms, including organic and biodynamic farms, grown on 19 distinct soil types. Each farm's grain is harvested, stored, malted, and distilled separately to preserve the unique terroir, resulting in a whisky with a subtle character shaped by the microclimate and soil of each farm. The whisky is named "Waterford" instead of the traditional Irish spelling "Whiskey" to highlight the importance of terroir over arbitrary national boundaries. The Hook Head lighthouse, standing steadfast against the full force of the Atlantic Ocean, symbolizes the whisky's maritime character and the extreme terroir of Hook Head Farm.
