A Rare Opportunity: Waterford Single Malt Irish Whiskies
🌟 Celebrate a Legacy with a Historical Collection 🌟
The story of the Waterford Distillery is one of vision, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of quality. Founded in 2014 by Mark Reynier, a pioneer in the whisky industry and former owner of the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery in Scotland, Waterford set out to revolutionize Irish whiskey by embracing the concept of terroir—the idea that a whiskey’s flavor is deeply influenced by the place where its ingredients are grown.
Located on Ireland’s picturesque southeast coast, in the historic city of Waterford, the distillery was housed in a state-of-the-art facility that had previously been a Guinness brewery. Mark Reynier transformed the site into one of the most advanced distilleries in the world, combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Waterford’s mission was simple yet ambitious: to prove that the origin of the barley could create distinctive, farm-specific flavors in whiskey.
Despite its critical acclaim and groundbreaking approach, Waterford Distillery recently closed its doors, making its whiskies a rare and valuable part of Irish whiskey history.
Now, you have the chance to own and enjoy two remarkable single malts from this iconic distillery:
Waterford Single Farm Origin Hook Head 1.1
• Profile: From the windswept Hook Head Peninsula, this whisky carries a maritime influence with briny undertones, citrus zest, malted biscuits, and a gentle spiciness. A truly unique flavor experience that showcases Waterford’s dedication to terroir.
Finished in a Granada rum cask since 2019, this bottling from Fettercairn distillery features notes of barbecued bananas, pineapple upside down cake and lemon zest.
Fettercairn is a highland distillery sat by the Cairngorm Mountatins.
Given the equipment and production style, it’s easy to see why a firm, relatively heavy, nutty style whisky is created. Furthermore, between 1995 & 2009, the condensers were made of stainless steel, adding a slightly burnt, pot ale character to the new make. However, a cooling ring at the top of the swan neck, spraying cold water down the still sides, helps reflux and guides the spirit towards a lighter profile.
Nose:
Barbecued bananas, mineral notes, pampas grass, sherbert lemons.
Flavour:
Coastal notes, miso, chalk.
Finish:
Pineapple upside down cake, gooseberries, lemon zest.
From an era of unapologetic industrial ambition that built skyscrapers, the internet and age statement whiskies comes the Decades Series of J.P. Wiser’s.

Here is to the shores of the tempestuous Windsor, alongside the cultural shifts that changed the face of the modern world! Dark gold in colour, with notes of rich vanilla, complex crust zest and baked rye bread.
