Irish Single Malt Whiskey Distillery Bottling 70cl / 50.0%
A bottle of Waterford distillery's Ballykilcavan 1.2 Irish single malt whiskey. Located on the south-east coast of Ireland, Waterford Distillery is known for its barley-forward, terroir-driven, compelling Irish whisky.
This second edition from Ballykilcavan forms part of Waterfords Single Farm Origin series and is made using 100% Irish malted barley. Almost four months older than the first edition, Ballykilcavan 1.2 does contain some of the first edition spirit and is bottled at 50% without colouring or chill filtration.
The barley used to produce this whiskey was grown in the Irish barley heartlands to the west of The Barrow in County Laois. The farm is home to David Walsh-Kemmis, and his fertile fields are sheltered by ancient woodland on some of the best soil in the region to grow malting barley.
Waterford Ballykilcavan 1.2 Irish single malt whiskey was matured in 36% first-fill American oak casks, 21% virgin American oak casks, 17% French oak casks and 26% were previously used to age Vin Doux Naturel (fortified wines). A cracking young Irish malt, ideal for fans of this fresh, vibrant new style.

The value is there for sure and it is definitely worth a buy, but there is a slight punch to it, bordering ever so slightly on that sulphuric taste you sometimes get with sherry butts. Not as rounded or soft as I'd have expected for a 13 yr old. Still great though.
Linkwood 17 Year Old Signatory Vintage Exceptional Cask 100 Proof Edition
Beautiful colour. Fruitcake and chocolate on the nose. I could sniff it for hours. The palate is rich full and well rounded with no sulphur or off notes. With a treacly mouth feel (beautiful legs!) and a long silky finish this is one to cherish. Incredible value at £70!
An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
