Waterford Hook Head Edition 1.1 is a single farm origin Irish single malt whisky made exclusively from Propino barley grown at Hook Head farm on the southern tip of County Wexford, using the 2015 harvest. Hook Head is one of Ireland's most distinctive coastal terroirs, a narrow peninsula jutting into the Celtic Sea where Atlantic winds and maritime soils shape the character of the barley from the ground up.

Production Record

Barley variety: Propino. Harvest: 2015. Maturation: 3 years, 8 months in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels, virgin American oak, and French oak casks. ABV: 50%.

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. Hook Head Edition 1.1 captures the character of that exposed coastal farm in a single bottling. The combination of bourbon, virgin American oak, and French oak casks adds layers of vanilla, spice, and fruit to the maritime-influenced spirit. Bottled at cask strength, 50% ABV.
