Imagine a whisky that tells you exactly where it came from, not just the country or region, but the farm, the soil, the barley variety. That’s the magic of Waterford Sheestown 1.2, part of the Single Farm Origin series by Waterford Distillery. Grown on a gently sloping, south-facing site near Kilkenny by farmer Phil O’Brien, this whisky is more than a spirit, it's an agricultural story in a glass. One sip and you're tasting the Irish countryside, earthy, honest, and expressive.

Waterford Sheestown Single Farm Irish Single Malt – Edition 1.2
Brand: Waterford | Category: Irish Single Malt | ABV: 50% | Origin: Kilkenny, Ireland | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Fresh and fragrant, think green apple skins, hay bales after harvest, lemon sherbet, and floral honey. There's a raw, natural brightness to it.
Palate: Zippy and textured, with juicy orchard fruits, sourdough crust, hints of white pepper, and malted biscuit. A burst of minerality emerges mid-palate, grounding the fruit with complexity.
Finish: Long, peppery, and slightly drying, like a breeze through barley fields, with lingering spice and citrus oils that leave the palate tingling.

Production Details:
Made from 100% Irish grown Irina barley from Sheestown Farm, this single malt was distilled with precision and transparency. Non-chill filtered, no added coloring, and matured in a mix of first-fill U.S. oak, virgin oak, French oak, and vin doux naturel casks, this unique cask recipe enhances the barley's voice without drowning it. Waterford calls it “terroir-driven whisky,” and they mean it.

Perfect For:
This is a dram for quiet reflection or deep conversation. Enjoy it while journaling, stargazing, or spinning your favorite vinyl. It’s cerebral whisky, not background noise.

Expert Notes:
Waterford’s Single Farm series has made waves for its radical transparency and bold flavors. Sheestown 1.2 in particular is praised for its vibrancy and layered complexity. Whisky connoisseurs appreciate its wine-like structure and field to glass authenticity.

Interesting Fact:

Serving Suggestions:
Serve it neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass, and let it sit for a few minutes before sipping. Add a tiny drop of water to open up hidden herbal notes. Take your time, this whisky evolves beautifully in the glass.

Distillery Background:
Located in a reimagined Guinness brewery in Waterford, Ireland, Waterford Distillery is the brainchild of Mark Reynier, the same mind behind Bruichladdich’s revival. Here, he champions traceability, terroir, and the bold belief that barley’s origin matters. With cutting-edge tech, single-farm sourcing, and uncompromising standards, Waterford is not just making Irish whisky, it’s redefining it.
