After distillation, the whisky is matured in a combination of French and American oak, and then bottled at 50% ABV with no chill-filtration or additional colouring. A total of 2,000 bottles produced, but due to the demand in Ireland, they released 1,400 of the 2,000 released just to the Irish market.

Founded in 2015, in the town of the same name and now sadly closed. Waterford was a new enterprise by Mark Reynier after his successful tenure at the Bruichladdich distillery. The Waterford concept was terroir and proving that grain from specific farms could influence the final whisky. It’s this journey that formed the central premise of the distillery and their inovative and attractive blue bottles. The distillery fell on hard times and went into administration in 2024 and at the time of writing, has no realistic prospect of reopening. Waterford whisky continues to be a room splitting offering, with both fans and detractors. Initially there was a rush to bottle young, but perhaps more time is needed for Waterford to be truly appreciated, or for the debate to move on around the effects that they believed exist in whisky production.
