The Waterford Tinnashrule: Edition 1.1 Single Farm Origin Whisky is a unique and innovative expression from the esteemed Waterford Distillery in Ireland. Bottled exclusively for the German market, this limited-edition whisky was crafted using barley grown on Tinnashrule Farm, situated in the rain shadow of the Blackstairs Mountains, north of Enniscorthy. These fertile fields benefit from well-drained loam and clay loam soils of the Clonroche series, derived from Ordovician shale and granite.
The whisky was distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2021, maturing for exactly 3 years, 8 months, and 14 days. The maturation process utilized a combination of four distinct cask types: 15% French Premium Oak casks (previously used for Margaux red wine), 17% Vin Doux Naturel casks (previously used for Sherry/Sauternes), 22% new American Oak casks, and 46% First Fill American Oak casks. This multi-cask approach contributes to the whisky's complex and layered flavor profile.
The Waterford Tinnashrule 1.1 boasts a complex aroma with fruity notes of plum and orange zest, complemented by sweet undertones of malted barley and honey, as well as hints of mint, rosewater, spices like anise, leather, and chocolate. The palate is rich, powerful, and intricate, featuring a peppery spice, chocolatey sweetness, herbal and sour citrus fruit notes, and a hint of bread. The finish is warm and oily, leaving a long-lasting impression.
This exceptional whisky underscores the significance of terroir, showcasing the impact of using barley from a single farm. Waterford Distillery's choice to use only two distillations instead of the customary three for Irish whiskey, combined with their diverse cask selection, further enhances the complexity and uniqueness of this whisky.
