Named in honor of Henry De la Poer Beresford, the 3rd Marquess of Waterford—famously credited with coining the phrase "painting the town red" after an infamous night out in 1837—this approachable release is crafted to capture a playful, spirited character. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is a triple-distilled blend combining sweet grain whiskey with malted barley spirits, matured in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a smooth, fruit-forward Irish whiskey with warm notes of honeyed cereal, vanilla bean, and light oak spice.
Food Pairing: Irish stew, fish and chips, sharp Cheddar cheese, roasted pork tenderloin, or apple pie.
Tasting Notes: Warm golden amber with clear brilliance and light-to-medium legs along the glass.
Nose: Light and inviting, opening with fresh orchard fruit, green apple, and sweet vanilla, followed by honeyed cereal, toasted grain, and subtle oak spice.
Palate: Smooth and rounded on the palate, featuring sweet butterscotch, ripe pear, and soft vanilla cream upfront before developing into light black pepper, nutmeg, and gentle oak tannins.
Finish: Medium length, clean, and warm with lingering notes of sweet wood, faint citrus zest, and soft malt.
Serve: Enjoy neat, on the rocks, or as a vibrant base in highballs and classic cocktails like an Irish Mule or Whisky Sour.
