The growing, the farmers, the soil, the barley are all well documented at Waterford Distillery. Once the barley is picked up from the growers it begins the journey that will lead ultimately to the distillery.

In the last season of the podcast, we broke down the entire process from growing to bottling and shared in detail the unique process at the distillery whereby each farm’s barley is stored, malted, brewed and distilled separately from other farms' harvests.

When it comes to biodynamic and organic whisky making, however, there are extra complexities to ensure compliance with the certifying bodies.
