Waterford Sheestown 1.2 Irish Whiskey

A bold Irish single malt whisky, distilled on the south-eastern coast of Ireland, this release captures the essence of a single farm's harvest. Made exclusively from barley grown by Phillip O'Brien in Sheestown, County Kilkenny, it showcases Waterford’s commitment to Irish terroir. The whisky is matured in a combination of first-fill American oak, virgin oak, French oak, and vin doux naturel casks.

The result is a complex spirit with warming spice, structured grain character and a lightly fruity edge. Bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration, it offers richness, texture and transparency in flavour development.

• Cinnamon spice and cracked black pepper on the nose, with a soft lift of cooked pear in the background
• The palate of Waterford Sheestown 1.2 Irish Whiskey is barley-led with fresh vanilla and a burst of caraway
• Layers of orchard fruit and sweet cereals build alongside a mineral-driven backbone
• The finish is enduring, revealing butterscotch, cantaloupe melon and faint spice
• Non-chill filtered with no colouring, bottled at natural cask strength for full expression

This whisky pairs well with robust dishes such as chargrilled pork, mature cheddar or roasted root vegetables. For a sweeter option, serve alongside spiced apple tart or ginger cake to mirror the whisky’s spice and fruit tones. Ideal for those exploring the depth of Irish single malts with regional character.
