Waterford is a premium Irish whiskey distillery located in the southeast of Ireland, known for its dedication to terroir-driven single malt whiskies. Founded by Mark Reynier in 2015, Waterford Distillery draws inspiration from the world of fine wine, focusing on the influence of barley, soil, and microclimate on the flavor profile of its whiskies. The distillery sources 100% Irish-grown barley from specific farms, highlighting the unique character of each region’s terroir.

Waterford’s single malt whiskies are non-chill filtered and bottled without artificial coloring, emphasizing purity and natural expression. Each release is tied to a particular farm or "terroir," and the brand offers a range of expressions under its "Single Farm Origin" series. These whiskies showcase a variety of flavor profiles depending on the barley's growing environment, but they typically feature notes of malt, honey, fruit, and spice, with a depth of flavor and a long, smooth finish. The alcohol content is usually around 50%, which allows for a bold and full-bodied experience.

Waterford's commitment to transparency is central to its ethos, offering detailed information on the origins of each batch, down to the specific field where the barley was grown. The distillery’s innovative approach, combined with traditional Irish whiskey-making techniques, has earned it a strong reputation among whiskey enthusiasts, particularly those interested in the role of terroir in crafting unique and complex spirits.
