Waterford Dunmore Edition 3.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's relentless single-farm-origin project continues to produce some of Ireland's most intellectually engaging whiskeys. This third edition from Dunmore farm shows how terroir translates through barley, distillation, and time — there's a mineral specificity here that you simply don't find in blended grain programs.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Fresh-cut grass and green apple give way to a gentle honeyed sweetness. A light floral note, almost like rosewater, weaves through a base of clean barley malt and a hint of vanilla.
Palate
Textured and precise, with orchard fruit and cereal grain building on the tongue. Mid-palate delivers buttery shortbread and a gentle earthiness that speaks directly to the farm's terroir, with a subtle woody spice arriving late.
Finish
Medium length, clean and malty with a lingering echo of green herbs and white pepper.
- Distillation
- Double distilled in copper pot stills
- Maturation
- Predominantly first-fill American oak with a portion of French oak

Food Pairing
The whiskey's buttery grain character and earthy undertones complement the caramelized sweetness of seared scallops, while its grassy freshness cuts through the richness of brown butter.
Distilled from barley grown exclusively on the Dunmore farm in County Waterford, this expression is part of Mark Reynier's terroir-driven single farm origin series, where every bottle traces back to one field, one harvest, one farmer.

Tamdhu 12 Year Old Sherry Oak Casks
Tamdhu
Tamdhu's commitment to 100% sherry oak maturation pays dividends in this 12-year expression. It's an honest, well-structured Speyside that demonstrates the clarity of purpose you get when a distillery commits fully to a single cask philosophy rather than hedging with mixed wood programs.
Fuenteseca Reserva Extra Añejo 15 Year
Fuenteseca
A meditative, almost cognac-like tequila that walks the razor's edge of over-oaking without ever falling in. Not for those seeking bright agave — this is a sipper for the patient.
Sipsmith Sloe Gin
Sipsmith
Sipsmith's sloe gin proves that this traditional British style deserves a place alongside serious spirits. The key is restraint — enough sugar to round the sloe's natural astringency, but not so much that you lose the juniper backbone of the base gin. This is a bottle that bridges the gap between aperitif and after-dinner pour.
Habitation Velier Savanna HERR 2015 Single Cask
Habitation Velier
Savanna's HERR (Heavy Ester Reunion Rum) mark is one of the most characterful distillates in the rum world, and Luca Gargano's single cask selections capture it at its most uncompromising. This is rum for people who want to taste the raw decision — what it means to let a spirit be entirely itself before any blending can intervene.
Dunville's PX 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Dunville's
A masterclass in sherry-cask maturation from a revived heritage name — profound, generous, and unhurried, rewarding slow contemplation more than casual sipping.
Waterford Ballymorgan Edition 1.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey Cuvée
Waterford
Waterford's terroir-driven approach can invite skepticism, but this bottling delivers undeniable distinctiveness. The Ballymorgan barley gives the whiskey a mineral depth and structural complexity that sets it apart from smoother, simpler Irish malts. At 50% ABV, it has the backbone to reveal its layers slowly over an evening.
Waterford Ballymorgan Edition 3.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford
Waterford's single-farm philosophy reaches its clearest expression in the Ballymorgan series. This third edition shows increased confidence and complexity, proving that Irish terroir is not a marketing concept but a sensory reality. The combination of scientific precision and farming heritage makes this one of the most intellectually satisfying Irish whiskeys available.
Tyrconnell 15 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Tyrconnell
Tyrconnell's 15-year expression is an exercise in quiet sophistication. Double-distilled rather than triple, it retains more texture and character than many Irish malts, and the extended aging rounds its edges without sanding away personality. A thinking person's Irish whiskey.
