Waterford Bannow Island Edition 1.2 is a single farm origin Irish single malt whisky made exclusively from barley grown on the southern coast of County Wexford by Ed Harpur. Bannow Island sits at the edge of the Celtic Sea, warmed by the Gulf Stream, where temperate, moist air crosses fertile coastal soils to produce barley of exceptional character. Edition 1.2 follows on from the first release of this terroir exploration and represents a further step in Waterford's farm-by-farm, harvest-by-harvest approach to Irish whisky.

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. Bannow Island is a single farm, a single terroir, bottled at cask strength. At 50% ABV this is a whisky for those who want to taste exactly where their drink comes from.
