4. From Malt to Mash

Waterford Distillery’s unique whisky-making approach is centered around capturing the unique flavours present in each of the grower’s fields of barley. Before distilling can concentrate the flavours, there are a few essential steps to help extract those flavours from the grain and preserve their terroir.       In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we’ll follow the barley from the field to the maltster and on to the brewing stage with Grace O’Reilly, Waterford Distillery’s agronomist and Neil Conway, Head Brewer.
