The second release from the 2016 distillation using Taberna barley grown by David Walsh-Kemmis west of the River Barrow in Co. Laois in the barley heartlands, where his fertile fields are sheltered by ancient woodland. David is the thirteenth generation since 1639 to farm at Ballykilcavan. And here, in his ancient farmhouse, sits our inaugural Barley of the Year trophy awarded for this 2015 harvest.
Matured in a spectrum of fresh, super premium American and French oak, and bottled at 50% ABV without colouring, chill-filtration or any additives; totally natural.
