Waterford Lakefield Edition 1.1 Single Malt Irish Whisky (700ml)

Another first edition in Waterford’s Single Farm Origin series: In the lee of Bishopswood, once witness to the macabre spectacle of a bishop’s hanging, Lakefield Farm, east of Durrow, Co. Laois, stands on undulated lowlands farmed by Seamus Duggan. This is a three year old whisky.

Notes from the producers… Appearance: Light gold with oils that grip & legs that slowly meander down the glass. Nose: Warm custard, bread baking, red apple, milk chocolate, dried flowers, butter cream, pine needles. It reminds me of waiting to eat a rhubarb & apple tart fresh from the oven with custard & cream to hand. Taste: A gentle clove to start that leads into proving bread & malted biscuits, in the middle a pepperiness that travels back my tongue then honeydew melon & pears. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
