Waterford Heritage Hunter Whiskey 70cl in gift box

Unashamedly influenced by the world’s greatest winemakers, Waterford Whiskey obsessively bring the same intellectual drive, methodology and rigour to barley – the very source of malt whisky’s complex flavour. Waterford Whiskey is the world’s largest producer of organic and biodynamic whiskies.

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 Vanished from the Irish landscape since the late 1970s, superceded by more economically rewarding crosses, all that remained of Hunter was a 50 gram bag in the seed bank of the Irish Department of Agriculture, Food & the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.
