Waterford The Arcadian Series Organic Gaia 2.1, 50%

Price: 115 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Malt


Light and vibrant aromas of sliced apple, pomelo, barley, warm milk on hot porridge, and creamed coconut show on the nose of this whisky produced from the 2016 harvest of organic Irish barley. Crisp barley, stewed apple, and ruby grapefruit to taste, it adds vanilla, fudge, and a cluster of pepper at the tip of the tongue before diluting to reveal malty notes laced with bitter plain chocolate. (5,000 bottles for the U.S.)
