Waterford Tinnashrule Edition 1.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's terroir experiment continues to produce compelling evidence that where barley grows matters. Tinnashrule's single-farm origin delivers a whiskey with genuine sense of place — bright, textured, and intellectually satisfying. This is Irish whiskey moving forward with conviction.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Distinctly green and meadowy — freshly cut grass, white peach, and a thread of honey. Beneath the fruit, a subtle earthiness comes through alongside vanilla from first-fill bourbon barrels.
Palate
Creamy and medium-bodied with excellent texture. The barley's origin shines through in mineral undertones, while peach, clove spice, and a cereal malt sweetness create a layered midpalate. A light coconut note drifts through from the cask.
Finish
Medium-long, with lingering green apple freshness and gentle woody spice. The terroir-driven minerality echoes at the close.

Kentucky Peerless Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
Peerless
Kentucky Peerless represents what happens when a young distillery takes no shortcuts — sweet mash, no chill filtration, barrel proof. The result is a bourbon that's simultaneously bold and disciplined, with enough negative space between its flavors for each to land clearly.
Domaine de la Tournelle Arbois Poulsard de l'Uva Arbosiana 2021
Domaine de la Tournelle
A masterclass in restraint. Poulsard at its most transparent — a red wine that whispers rather than declares, defined as much by what's absent as by what remains.
Havana Club Selección de Maestros
Havana Club
A masterclass in editorial restraint. Where many premium rums crowd the glass with sweetness, Selección de Maestros trusts the silences — the negative space between notes is where its sophistication lives. Essential for drinkers who mistake Cuban rum for merely 'light.'
Capreolus Raspberry Eau de Vie Gin
Capreolus
Barrie Lancaster's eau de vie background shows in every sip — this is a gin that understands distillation as an act of capture, not construction. The space between the floral top notes and the woody juniper base is wide and elegant, each element articulated with rare clarity.
Dunville's Three Crowns Sherry Cask Irish Whiskey
Dunville's
A masterclass in editorial restraint — a sherried blend that trusts silence between flavors, proving that Irish whiskey's elegance often lives in what's left unsaid.
Drumshanbo Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Drumshanbo
A genuinely original pot still whiskey that expands what the category can mean. The unconventional inclusion of Irish-grown rice sounds gimmicky until you taste it — it adds a delicate floral lift to the classic pot still weight. Worth seeking out for anyone who thinks they know Irish whiskey.
Knappogue Castle 21 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Knappogue Castle
Twenty-one years in bourbon casks have given this whiskey remarkable depth without losing the clean Irish malt character. The extended aging adds woody complexity that never becomes overbearing. A meditative pour for those who appreciate old-age finesse.
Tullamore D.E.W. 12 Year Old Special Reserve
Tullamore D.E.W.
The 12-year-old expression demonstrates what patient triple distillation and careful cask management can achieve. It's a blend that punches above its price, balancing sherry richness with pot still character. The kind of Irish whiskey you reach for when you want complexity without drama.
