Waterford The Cuvée 1.1 is an exceptional whisky that draws inspiration from the wine world's "Cuvée" concept, which involves blending different grape varieties to create the ultimate wine. Waterford Distillery has expertly translated this idea into the whisky realm, combining 25 distinct Waterford Single Malts, each sourced from individual farms across Ireland, into a single harmonious bottle. This innovative approach aims to fuse the unique flavors of various terroirs, achieving unparalleled complexity and depth. The label, designed by artist Leah Hewson, visually captures the unique essence of The Cuvée. Waterford Distillery's innovative approach is evident in this blend of Single Farm Origin whiskeys, making The Cuvée more than just the sum of its parts. Crafted with 100% Irish barley from 46 different local farms, it embodies a terroir-focused philosophy that captures the essence of Ireland's soils and microclimates. Bottled at 50% ABV, The Cuvée offers a tantalizing aroma of stewed apples, malt loaf, and barley sugar. On the palate, one can savor the flavors of orange zest, lemon peel, and olive, culminating in a smooth and full finish featuring barley. This dynamic assemblage reveals notes of red apples, lavender, digestive biscuits, oranges, fresh mint, and coffee cake. The distinctly oily, textured palate delivers grapefruit, lemon zest, dark chocolate, and cherries, with an extraordinary length of flavor. Limited to just 40,000 bottles, Waterford The Cuvée stands as a permanent edition and a definitive expression of Waterford Distillery, located on the banks of the River Suir on Ireland's sunny south-eastern coast. This whisky not only showcases the distillery's innovative methods but also highlights the unique characteristics of Ireland's diverse terroirs.
