Waterford Single Farm Origin Series Sheestown 1.1 Irish Whiskey 3 Year Old · 2016 Vintage
In stock
The new Single Farm Estate release from Waterford, Sheestown 1.1.
Using 100% Irish malted barley, Waterford’s Single Farm Origin series is an uber-provenance range of limited edition natural whiskies that explore Irish “teireoir” – one farm, one place at a time. No colouring, chill-filtration or additives are used whilst long fermentation and slow distillations have created an impactful flavour.
Known locally as ‘the place of the lush grass’ Sheestown is a rolling, lowland terroir of well- drained loamy soil where Phillip O’Brien has farmed the land for half a century.
For maturation, 35% of the casks were first-fill American oak, 21% virgin American oak, 25% premium French oak and 19% were previously used to age vin doux naturel (fortified wines).

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden-amber with warm, honeyed copper notes and a sunlit depth.
Nose
Earthy notes rise from the glass, braided with warm clove, ripe poached pears and honeycomb sweetness; a gentle, orchard-spun aroma that hints at terroir and slow maturation.
Palate
Gentle spice greets the palate, with lingering cloves that dry into citrus peel marmalade and a note of fresh honey.
Finish
A long, spicy finish that leaves a warming tingle on the front of the tongue.
