Waterford "Single Farm Origin: Dunmore 1.1" Single Malt Irish Whiskey (750ml)
SKU #1502128
Whisky Advocate
Quite spicy up front, with pepper, ginger, and a touch of burnt spice, with Quaker Oatmeal Squares, dunnage floors, hazelnut, and slightly sour herbal notes of basil and tarragon. There’s a robust surge of pepperiness on the palate after an initial show of dark toffee, chocolate, and Americano, then it wallows in clove, cacao nibs, leather, Brazil nut, and baked fruits.

Wine Enthusiast
Part of a series of
single-farm whiskeys, this single malt has a honey
hue and mild, grainy aroma. The palate opens with
resin and toasted grain, with hints of espresso and
hot honey, finishing with peppery roar. Each sip
warms all the way down. (KN)

K&L Notes
The new project by Bruichladdich front man Mark Reynier is an exercise in extreme terroir (or TÉIREOIR in Gaelic). Using barley grown on one specific farm the Single Farm Origin series offer an uber-provenance experience exploring the significance of place in barley and whiskey production. These intentionally spirit forward whiskies are completely unadulterated - no coloring, chill-filtration or any additives whatsoever. Dunmore Edition 1.1 was grown by John Tynan in County Laois. John Tynan’s barley fields contain an early medieval fort that lends the town its name "An Dún Mór, the big fort". Nestled between the Slieve Bloom Mountains & the Castlecomer Plateau, this westerly-facing, lowland terroir is composed of limestone-derived loamy drift that harbours a compact gravelly tilth. The cask composition before bottling at 100 proof is: 33% first fill US oak, 18% virgin US oak, 25% premium French oak and 24% Vin Doux Naturel (sweet fortified wines). Each bottle of Single Farm Origin whiskey has a TÉIREOIR code offering an unparalleled level of information on each bottling. TÉIREOIR CODE: F017E01-01
