7262 – WHISKY IRLANDÈS WATERFORD SINGLE MALT CUVEE 1.1 50º – 70 Cl.
Features: Waterford Distilled has revolutionized Irish whiskey production by introducing the concept of “terroir” to the world of malts. Focusing on the uniqueness of barley from different Irish farms, the distillery presents Cuvée 1.1, a limited edition that fuses malts from 25 different estates, united by the exceptional quality of the soils and microclimates.
This bottle reflects an unprecedented complexity, with 29 types of barrels used for aging, including premium French oak barrels, virgin US oak and Vin Doux Naturel, which gives a rich palette of flavors. Cuvée 1.1 is a dynamic and textured experience, able to show the perfect fusion between the terroirs, producing a malt whiskey that is placed in a new era for the industry. With 40,000 bottles available, this limited edition is a masterpiece that celebrates the complexity and fusion of the different terroirs.
Waterford has worked with 86 farms, growing barley in 19 different soil types, ensuring the maximum expression of the terroir. Each harvest is treated separately, with a meticulous process that ensures the identity of each estate in each distillate. The distillery also uses advanced technology, such as its digital logistics system, to keep the harvests perfectly separated, allowing for precise distillation. In addition, Waterford uses pure water from local sources, ensuring a quality base for its distillate.
Cuvée 1.1 is made from four varieties of barley: Irina, Overture, Taberna and Propí, and its creation is a tribute to the savoir-faire that combines ancient Irish tradition with cutting-edge technology to achieve excellence in whisky production.
