Waterford Whiskey Heritage Goldthorpe is a unique Irish single malt crafted from Goldthorpe barley, a rare heritage variety first identified in 1889 and unused in commercial whisky production for over a century. Waterford Distillery has revived this historic barley through dedicated agricultural and malting work, resulting in a whisky that bridges tradition and innovation.
Distilled entirely from this heritage barley and matured in a thoughtful combination of cask types including first‑fill American oak, virgin American oak, premium French oak, and Vin Doux Naturel barrels. This expression is bottled at 50% ABV with no chill filtration or added colour to preserve its natural character.
On the nose and palate, Heritage Goldthorpe offers a barley‑forward profile with rich layers of warm porridge, bread dough, honey, orchard fruit, citrus peel, spice, and hints of dried berries. The texture is lively and mouth‑coating, with a medium‑length finish that carries earthy and grainy notes.
This limited release celebrates agricultural history and terroir‑driven whisky making, perfect for enthusiasts who appreciate both heritage and flavour complexity.
