WATERFORD - SFO Broomsland - Edition 1.1 - 50%
The Waterford Distillery is located in the picturesque town of Waterford, Ireland, renowned for its exceptional expertise in producing outstanding whiskies. This innovative project was initiated by Mark Reynier, the visionary entrepreneur behind the revival of Islay's Bruichladdich Single Malt whisky, inspired by the world's greatest winemakers and terroirs. Originally built by Diageo in 2004, the distillery was converted in 2015 to specialize in producing terroir whiskies of remarkable quality, highlighting the precise origin of the barley, its cultivation, and the unique soil that nourishes it. Mark Reynier works closely with 86 Irish farms growing barley on 19 distinct soil types, including organic and biodynamic farming practices. Thanks to an advanced digital logistics system, each harvest is carefully collected, stored, malted, and distilled separately, thus ensuring unparalleled traceability and aromatic richness for each expression.
Broomlands 1.1 is a whisky made from barley grown by Mark Browne on his iconic farm, Broomlands. The barley, meticulously harvested on August 20, 2015, was distilled over a precise period between October 24 and October 30, 2016. Its maturation lasted 3 years, 5 months, and 27 days, placed in a unique blend of casks carefully selected to optimize the whisky's complexity and depth: 41% first-fill American oak casks from the famous Heaven Hill Distillery, 37% French oak casks that previously held prestigious Château Lafite wine, 11% virgin American oak casks, and 11% sweet natural wine casks. This exceptional vintage was limited to only 3,000 bottles, making this edition a highly sought-after rarity among fine spirits enthusiasts.
