Waterford Hertitage Hunter

Named after pioneering plant breeder Dr Herbert Hunter, it was introduced in 1959, and was for two decades lauded for its distinctive flavour. Modern distillers, obliged to use the yield-enhancing varieties, have been deprived of heritage flavours – flavours that evolved more naturally over centuries in harmony with Ireland’s terroirs.

We have ventured back in time to rediscover Irish varieties, the natural flavours. We are introducing these rare, game-changing barleys to a new era of single malt connoisseurs.
