Waterford Biodynamic Luna 1.1 Arcadian Series

Description

Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt

Strength: 50% alc/vol

Using Rudolf Steiner”s biodynamic principles, lunar planting cycles, horse ploughing, and natural soil preparations. Eccentric to some, regenerative to others, biodynamic agriculture goes beyond the ordinary ecological mindset. Drawing upon ancient lore of lunar cycles and exotic preparations, it seeks to charge soils with vitality and barley with vibrancy. Practised by the most visionary and curious, we too are intrigued about the most natural flavours we can capture in spirit.
A combination of 35% first-fill US oak, 17% American virgin oak, 26% French oak, and 22% Vin Doux Naturel casks.
For this landmark whisky, distilled from Ireland”s only biodynamic barley, we invoke the goddess of the moon for our most esoteric and evocative bottling.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Plums, apricot jam, fresh fruit salad, cold coffee, lemon drizzle cake, milk chocolate with almonds, fresh soil, bread proofing, brown sugar, herbal tea, hay on the ground after a shower of rain.
Palate: Spice on every level, front, middle, back and in between, white pepper, cloves, green peppers, jalapenos, dark chocolate, liquorice, malted biscuits and peppermint tea, grapefruit.
An everlasting finish of heat and spice that”s dry but is mouth-watering, with some mint tea. It has more of a linger and less of a finish.
