The Luna 1.1 highlights Waterford's terroir driven spirit, where they have taken regeneratively farmed, biodymanic barley to create a Single Malt that is both esoteric, and excellent. This results in a whisky that is pleasantly oily, with a bright grain spice note, which carries through into a long, delicate finish. 50% abv.
