Waterford Biodynamic Luna 1.1, 50%

Price: 125 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Malt


Biodynamic barley is “like muck and magic” according to one of Waterford's farmers, but a compelling nose of ripe pear, blossom honey, butterscotch, floral notes, orange peel, and dry spices is the reward for their efforts. Assisted by a cask mix that includes port, amarone, and Chateau Lafite Rothschild, this drinks exceptionally well without water and supplies flavors of sweet citrus, orchard fruit, clove, pepper, and Whoppers. (4,000 bottles for the U.S.)
