Highlights

  • Heritage story: Waterford Heritage Hunter 1.1 revives the rare ‘Hunter’ barley, named for plant breeder Dr Herbert Hunter and reintroduced after being preserved in the Irish seed bank since the 1970s.
  • Bottling details: Single malt Irish whiskey, 700 ml (70 cl), 50% ABV, presented in its original box and distilled in Ireland using barley as the sole grain.
  • Limited, terroir-led release: Made from Hunter barley grown on the lime-rich Elton series in Donoughmore with Minch Malt, yielding 25.5 tonnes and filling 50 casks—this expression is drawn from that first pioneering distillation.

Description

Waterford - Heritage Hunter 1.1 Irish Whiskey Hunter, named after pioneering plant breeder Dr Herbert Hunter, was introduced in 1959 and  was for almost two decades noted for its distinctive flavour. We now reintroduce this game-changing barley to a new era of single malt connoisseurs. Vanished from the Irish landscape since the late 1970s, superceded by more economically rewarding crosses, all that remained of Hunter was a 50 gram bag in the seed bank of the Irish Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine.Planted in greenhouse grow bags, this 50 grams grew to four kilograms, and the cycle went again and again over two years, until there was enough for  ten acres at our partner Minch Malt’s test site in Athy. Test successful, Hunter was sown on a commercial scale on the lime-rich Elton series terroir of Donoughmore, yielding 25.5 tonnes of malting barley — enough to fill 50 casks. It is from that first pioneering distillation that this whisky has been drawn.
