WATERFORD - Micro Cuvée - Lomhar - 50%
\n
The Waterford Distillery is located in the charming city of Waterford, Ireland, renowned for the exceptional quality of its spirits. This innovative project was launched by Mark Reynier, a visionary and key figure behind the revival of the famous Islay Single Malt whisky, Bruichladdich. His approach is inspired by great winemakers who emphasize the expression of terroir. Originally built by Diageo in 2004, the distillery was redesigned and converted in 2015 to create exceptional terroir whiskies, highlighting the precise origin of the barley, its terroir, and the cultivation methods used. Mark Reynier works closely with 86 Irish farms, cultivating barley on 19 distinct soils, including organic and biodynamic practices. Thanks to an advanced digital logistics system, each harvest is carefully tracked: it is harvested, stored, malted, and distilled separately to preserve the authenticity of each origin.

Lómhar is the result of a specific request made by visionary CEO Mark Reynier to Ned, the master distiller, to create a whisky that "would warm for the winter." This Micro Cuvée is a true artisanal and playful experience: Ned blended Lómhar from 10 unique distillates, all from a singular origin, also including the very first organic spirit made from barley grown by 6 producers. In total, 11 distinct Waterford whiskies compose this rare cuvée. As a cherry on top, Ned incorporated the last precious drops of the first iconic cuvée, Pilgrimage, thus increasing its richness and complexity. The maturation lasted 3 years, 5 months, and 27 days with finishing in a carefully selected range of casks: 36% first-fill American oak barrels, 25% premium French oak barriques, 21% fortified wine casks, and 18% virgin American oak barrels. This limited and extremely rare edition comprises only 1,100 numbered bottles.
