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 simple 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 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.
