About Waterford Biodynamic Luna Irish Single Malt Whisky No Vor
Waterford Biodynamic Luna 1.1 is a pioneering Irish single malt whiskey made exclusively from biodynamically grown barley, marking the world's first certified biodynamic whiskey from Waterford Distillery. Distilled at 50% ABV and matured in a mix of first-fill US oak (35%), virgin US oak (17%), premium French oak (26%), and Vin Doux Naturel oak (22%), it's non-chill filtered with natural color, offering intense barley-driven flavors in a pale straw hue. What makes it special is its terroir-focused philosophy, emphasizing unpeated barley from biodynamic farms, resulting in unique aromas of fresh bread, earthiness, and floral notes that demand contemplation rather than casual sipping. Ideal for whiskey enthusiasts seeking complex, thoughtful sippers who appreciate innovation over traditional smoothness, it's not suited for shots or basic mixing at its $97.50/750ml price point. Compared to conventional Irish single malts, Luna 1.1 stands out for its youthful vibrancy, mineral depth, and spicy-fruity profile, rivaling premium Scotch malts in nuance despite its relative youth.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose bursts with freshly baked bread crust, cut wheat, and whole barley, layered with floral carnations, loam, and hints of vanilla, honey, and fruity pears. Earthy minerality and subtle sweetness like butterscotch or agave emerge, inviting prolonged sniffing due to its barley purity and unique freshness. With water, grassy and meatier notes enhance the complexity.
👅 Palate
A spicy kick from white pepper, cloves, and cinnamon greets the tongue, balanced by sweet honey, vanilla, baked apples, and malted barley chewiness. Textures range from delicate and tingly to velvety and oily, with fruity pear, citrus, and almond flour adding depth; water mellows the heat to reveal nuanced berries and pastry. The mouthfeel contrasts thin youthfulness with vibrant grain-driven intensity.
✨ Finish
Moderately long and prickly with echoes of bread, barley, green apples, and dusty oak spice. Water softens it to a smoother close with white pepper and lingering orchard fruits.
