Waterford Peated Ballybannon 750ml Irish Single Malt Whisky 100pf
| Description: | History,. Along with its sister bottling, Peated: Fenniscourt, Peated: Ballybannon represents the first marriage of Irish barley and Irish peat in generations. Arcadian Barley, from our secret garden of delights, explores the natural flavours, intensity & honesty of old ways. This same diffused aroma cloaked barley dried over peat smoke by illicit distillers, a custom that died out in the 1850s. Ballybannon in Co. Carlow could be the perfect terroir for growing barley for peating. Sitting on raised ground along the banks of the River Barrow, its heavy, lime-rich soils archetypal Elton series are directly adjacent to sphagnum-dense inland bog. Small wonder then that the Pender familys barley and peat from Niall Carrolls Ballyteige cuttings in Co. Kildare have proven such a natural combination. Such is Ballybannon barleys natural affinity for peat, that we have been able to kiln-dry it to a high 48ppm and still find that the character of Ballybannons terroir itself remains the dominant flavour in the spirit.
