Why You'll Love It

Waterford's Single Farm Origin series is one of the most intellectually rigorous and genuinely exciting projects in world whisky. The philosophy is straightforward but radical: barley is the source of single malt's complex flavours, and those flavours are shaped by the place where the barley grows, by the soils that nourish its roots, by the microclimate in which it ripens. Ballykilcavan Edition 1.1 is the original expression of that farm, that harvest, that terroir — a precise and unrepeatable record of a single place in time. Bottled at cask strength, 50% ABV.
