Waterford Wilkinstown 1.1 50% Single Malt 50% 6 CL Sample

0.06ltr. 50.00%

Five kilometres west of Wexford Town, Ireland and near the mouth of the River Slaney , once stood an ancient castle with a fortified wall and graveyard. Today, the site is used for barley cultivation by third generation grower Ger Kelly. On his farm called Wilkinstown, the modest Ger Kelly has been cultivating his barley for many years on this beautiful piece of Ireland. It is a flat terrain, characterised by the estuary and influenced by the maritime microclimate.

The whisky made with the barley of Ger, Waterford Wilkinstown 1.1., is exclusively selected for the Dutch market and only available through De Monnik Dranken. A beautiful whisky, coming from a special distillery, where they are not afraid of innovation and challenges. The terroir of each farm is captured in the spirit, which produces whisky of precision and rarity and shows the diversity of barley from individual Irish farms and harvests.
