Waterford Whiskey Bannow Island is a distinctive Irish whiskey shaped by one of Ireland’s most extreme barley-growing environments. Sourced from multiple farms surrounding Bannow Island in County Wexford, this expression highlights the influence of a harsh Atlantic maritime climate, where salty air, strong winds, and coastal soils play a defining role in barley character.
Crafted from 100% Irish barley and distilled at Waterford Distillery, Bannow Island is matured in a combination of oak casks and bottled without chill filtration to preserve its natural texture and complexity. The result is a bold and characterful whiskey, often noted for its robust structure, depth, and savory edge, with layered grain-forward flavors, subtle spice, oak influence, and a long, powerful finish.
Unlike Single Farm Origin releases, Bannow Island represents a regional terroir, bringing together barley from several nearby farms to express the shared environmental conditions of this unique coastal landscape. It is a compelling example of Waterford’s philosophy that place matters in whiskey production.
