Waterford Single Farm Origin Ballykilcavan Ed. 1.2 70cl 50°

Archive Waterford Single Farm Origin Ballykilcavan Edition 1.2 70cl 50°

Distillery : Waterford / Country : Ireland / Reference: : 24071

Distilled in 2016, this first Ballykilcavan version is made from 100% Irish barley sourced from the farm of David Walshkemmis (13th generation farmer since 1639). Grown west of the River Barrow in County Laois, barley grows there on rich (one of Ireland's best) and oily soil in a forest area.

This Waterford Single Farm Origin Ballykilcavan Ed. 1.2 is aged 4 months more than version 1.1, which corresponds to approximately 10% more aging. This extra aging time brings to this almost 4 year old whisky a huge change, because at this age the whisky evolves very quickly.

This Single Farm OriginBallykilcavan is aged in American and French barrels with a blend of 1st fill Bourbon (45%), French (28%) and natural sweet wine (27%).

1440 bottles available in France.

The Waterford distillery was launched by Mark Reynier in Ireland, drawing inspiration from the greatest winegrowers in the world, and is generating enormous interest among whisky lovers around the world.


After having brilliantly directed the Bruichladdich distillery, Mark Reynier launched a new challenge in the world of whisky with Waterford, that of transparency to reveal and enhance the spirit of the terroirs. The distillery will relentlessly transpose to the single malt whisky the same intellectual approach, the same methodology and the same rigor that exist in the world of wine.


Through its “Téireoir code” system, Waterford makes known all the indications which influenced the qualities of its bottlings, of the soil of the field, through its geolocation, the variety of barley, yeast, the barrels used and the assembly carried out: a terroir, a farm, a harvest ... As a bonus, interviews with farmers, superb photos and the sounds of the field can be found on the page dedicated to each Single Malt.


Waterford thus reveals the often underestimated influence of all the elements such as the earth, or the microclimate on the production of whisky.


"For years people have been deceived as to the source of the quality of whisky: first the stills, then the water and now the barrels. We want to highlight what makes whisky the most complex spirit in the world, the original source of its extraordinary aromas and flavours: barley." Says Mark Reynier, founder of the Waterford distillery. "The new Single Farm Origin range is a series of limited editions of natural whiskies with ultra-sharp origins that reveal the Irish terroir farm by farm, place by place. They are the expression of precision and rarity, revealing the aromas and flavours of barley from small Irish farms and varying with each harvest."


Backed by cutting-edge technology, Waterford Single Malts push the boundaries of authenticity and traceability.


Whisky Waterford

Aromatic profile: oily, fruity, suave, greedy and very intense.

The additional aging will enrich the whiskey, its density, its balance to exacerbate the aromas developed by the terroir.

This 100% Irish Single Malt develops a more gourmet character than the 1.1 edition thanks to a more marked use of American oak barrels, while maintaining the malty and spicy style of this clay-limestone terroir.
