Relish in the captivating narrative of Waterford Whisky Ratheadon 1.2, a single malt Irish Whiskey that echoes the rich lineage and fertile terroirs of County Carlow. Exclusively released in Ireland, this distinctive spirit originates from the Ratheadon region - a floodplain cradled by the charming, "bubbling" River Barrow. In this distinctive landscape, the McDonnell family, spanning four generations, have cultivated their barley for over five decades.
Witness the sheer vitality of Ratheadon 1.2 in every pour. The whiskey catches the eye with an evocative amber hue, with a viscous oiliness that demonstrates the whiskey's superb quality. Its 'legs' on the glass, an indication of alcohol content and viscosity, are the stuff of a connoisseur's dreams.
Allow the scents to whisk you away to the Irish countryside. Initially, its youthful vigour captures your senses, soon replaced by a harmonious blend of floral and honey notes. Allow the malt, digestive biscuits and gentle spices to waft through your senses, punctuated by notes of mandarins and berry fruits. The nose is akin to sinking into a comfortable leather seat – familiar, comforting, yet full of anticipation.
Take a sip and you're greeted by a complex palate teeming with white pepper, ginger, and pearl barley. Its oiliness carries a honeyed sweetness, melding with soft spices and a nostalgic nod to orange barley sweets. Each mouthful concludes with a lingering spice that captivates your taste buds, tied together with an endlessly mouthwatering oiliness.
