New Releases from Waterford







Waterford Irish Single Malt Whisky Luna 1.1....$99.99

Luna 1.1 is the first BIODYNAMIC Irish Single Malt Whisky.
A true WORLD FIRST & pioneering distillation for the discerning. Eccentric to some, regenerative to others biodynamic agriculture goes beyond the extraordinary ecological mindset. Drawing upon ancient lore of lunar cycles & exotic preparations, it seeks to charge soils with vitality & barley with vibrancy. Practiced by the most visionary & curious, we too are intrigued about the most natural flavors we can capture in spirit. For this landmark whisky, distilled from Ireland’s only biodynamic barley, we invoke the goddess of the moon for our most esoteric & evocative bottling.

Part of the Arcadian Series, Biodynamic - Luna Edition 1.1 is from 3 Biodynamic farms distilled in 2016. Biodynamics is regenerative farming, uber-organic, pre-agrochemical. Practiced by the world's top winemakers: Yguem, Romanée-Conti, Latour, Zind Humrecht.
Cask composition: 35% First fill U.S., 17% Virgin U.S., 26% premium French, 22% Vin Doux naturel.

Waterford Irish Single Malt Whisky The Cuvee....$83.99
Conceptually inspired by Bordeaux's greatest chateaux. 25 distinct Waterford Single Malts, each a Single Farm Origin, are layered together in one bottling. Flagship bottling available globally.

Our unique library of individual Waterford whiskies–derived from distinctive Irish terroirs –presents to us an unprecedented spectrum of natural flavours defined by Ireland’s soils & microclimates. Now, by layering such singular spirits together, each expressing its own identity, we alone are able to create this dynamic assemblage in which 25 individual Single Farm Origins coalesce to create The Cuvée. Thus beginning a new era for malt whisky. A celebration of a complexity only attainable from a fusion of individual terroirs, in this way– & in this bottle – we believe that the whole is greater than simply the sum of its parts.
