Waterford Peated Fenniscourt 1.1
Peated Single Malt
Waterford // Ireland
This single malt from Waterford was crafted with both Irish-grown barley and Irish-harvested peat. It is one of two releases for 2022 in Waterford's Arcadian Farm Origins Series. Each of the two single malts used barley grown in Co. Carlow from a single farm, in this case from Fenniscourt, while the peat was harvested from Co. Kildare.
For this release, the barley was peated to 38ppm. It was distilled in 2019 and matured in a variety of casks as follows: 37% first-fill US oak, 19% virgin US oak, 20% French oak and 24% Vin Doux Naturel casks. This bottling has a global availability of 11,500 bottles with the US getting its allocation in October 2022. (SRP $99.99).

Tasting Notes
"The peat aroma is more earthy and dried herbs rather than mossy and briny. There's some rubber in there as well as some toasted oak and moderate intensity of golden raisins and banana. The palate brings forth some nutty barley and a tangy, light sweetness. The whisky feels slightly slick on the palate and the peat smoke surrounds the whisky with the underlying fruit note peaking its head through. The mix use of barrels is nice here as the barrel spices come through without too much vanilla or dried fruits. It's quite balanced given its relative youthfulness and it shows quite a bit of variety for the drinker to enjoy on the daily. "
