Description
The Waterford Ballybannon Peated 1.1 is a single malt Irish whiskey that is 47 ppm peated. The whiskey is designed to combine an assertive smokey character with maritime and earthy notes, as well as a very interesting pastry structure (lavender honey, apple pie, buttery notes). The whiskey is light gold in color with everlasting oils and has a soft peat kick. The nose has soft peat, almonds, crisp, lavender honey, and reminds me of a seaside escape, driftwood fire smoke, green apples, padr*n peppers, and salt crust. The palate has peat kick, very chewable, BBQ fish by the sea, buttery, warm apple and almond tart with honeycomb ice cream, wool, frangipane, and samphire. The finish is long and delicate. The whiskey is 750ml in size.
This is the first time in generations that we can find Irish whiskeys designed in this way, marking a return to a certain tradition, since peat has for centuries been the main means of heating on the island.
This edition is a single farm, since the barley comes from the Ballybannon farm, while the peat was harvested in County Kildare. This peated single malt at 47 ppm combines an assertive smokey character, with maritime and earthy notes, as well as a very interesting pastry structure (lavender honey, apple pie, buttery notes).
