Arcadian barley, from our secret garden of delights, explores the natural flavours, intensity & honesty of old ways. Out of necessity since the dawn of time, peat has been the primary fuel source in rural Ireland, with its sweet pungency familiar to generations gathered around the ancient hearths of thatch-roofed blackhouses. Farmer, & often illicit distiller, dried barley over peat smoke infusing the same heady aromatics, an ancient custom that died out from the 1850s. With this Single Farm Origin’s barley, Irish grown & Irish peated, we return to the earthy, wild & raw tradition rooted in the distant past.

TASTING NOTES

Colour : Olive Oil

Nose : Powerful and nuanced. Vibrant peat, fresh smoke like a spring morning frost. Then, a coastal walk with hints of iodine and oyster shells. The finish is sweeter with barley sugar, orchard fruits, especially apple and pear skin, and warm hay as the glass fully opens.

Palate : Full-bodied and velvety. Grist, driftwood, campfire, and creosote. Sheep’s wool and Lapsang Souchong black tea. White peach and applesauce are juicy, providing a perfect balance to the pronounced palate.

Finish : Smoky and smoldering. Complex cigar tobacco notes, green tea, and tar.

Profile : Distinctive and peaty.
