WATERFORD - SFO Broomsland - Edition 1.1 - 50%
The Waterford Distillery is located in the city of Waterford, Ireland . The project was initiated by Mark Reynier , the man behind the revival of Islay Bruichladdich Single Malt Whisky, inspired by the world's greatest winemakers. The distillery is a facility originally built by Diageo in 2004 and converted to a distillery in 2015. The production of terroir whiskeys gives importance to where the barley comes from, where and how it is grown. Mark Reynier works with 86 Irish farms growing barley on 19 different soils , including organic and biodynamic barley. With a highly elaborate digital logistics system, each farmer's harvest is harvested, stored, malted and distilled separately.
Broomlands 1.1 is made from Mark Browne 's barley, grown on his farm named Broomlands. The barley was harvested on August 20, 2015 and then distilled between October 24, 2016 and October 30, 2016. Maturation lasted 3 years, 5 months and 27 days. The whiskey matures in a combination of 41% first fill American oak barrels from Heaven Hill Distilery, 37% French oak barrels that have held Château Lafite wine, 11% Virgin American oak barrels and 11% natural sweet wine . 3,000 bottles were produced.
