This is an Irish single malt from Blackwater Distillery in West Waterford, made entirely from malted Hunter barley and distilled in November 2021. It spent three years in a single first-fill bourbon barrel before being bottled in February 2025 at 55%, in a 70cl bottle. The barrel gave 283 bottles, and the whisky has no added colour and is not chill-filtered.
The nose is soft and fleshy, with stone fruit, lemon souffle, creamy oats, pancake batter and hazelnut, with a little resin behind. On the palate come melon, pear and quince, then yeasty dough and creamy rice pudding, with white chocolate balancing a resinous pine warmth. The finish brings resinous oak spice, malted milk biscuits, a touch of nutmeg and soft vanilla fudge.
