The Waterford Peated Lacken is a peated single malt Irish whisky that exclusively uses barley from the Lacken farm in the Wexford region. The barley variety, “Olympus,” was harvested on August 13, 2017, and malted with peat from Ballyteague, achieving a peat level of 57 ppm. Fermentation, using the distillery’s proprietary “Mauri” yeast, began on June 5, 2019, and double distillation took place between June 11 and June 24, 2019. The spirit was aged for exactly 3 years, 9 months, and 10 days in a mix of barrels, divided as follows: 39% American oak first-fill ex-bourbon, 23% French ex-Vin Doux Naturel, 20% virgin American oak, and 18% French oak. This Irish whisky was bottled on July 18, 2023, at 50% ABV, non-chill-filtered, and with no added color.

Each bottle features a “Téireoir Code,” which can be entered on the distillery’s website to access detailed production information about this single malt.
