Single Farm Origins showcase the remarkable, unique flavours that can only come through exhibiting ultimate precision of place. In this case, Richard Raftice’s Rathclogh Farm, County Kilkenny, only available in the USA, redolent of honeycomb, hay and freshly-baked fruit pies.
100% Irish barley, double-distilled before maturation in our industry-leading cask portfolio of Good Wood. Its flavour differences influenced by the varying soils, microclimates and topography (known as terroir) of each Single Farm Origin.
Fascinating to collect, compare and contrast natural flavours. Single Malt Whisky as it used to be.
