Three miles west of Wexford town, near the mouth of the River Slaney, is the site of an ancient motte & bailey castle & graveyard. Here third-generation grower Ger Kelly farms on flat, estuarine land ameliorated by its maritime microclimate. The moisture retentive, clay-rich loam derived from Ordovician shale is the highly productive Clonroche Series. ###Product DescriptionUnashamedly influenced by the world’s greatest winemakers, we obsessively bring the same intellectual drive, methodology and rigour to barley – the very source of malt whisky’s complex flavour.Extolling a hundred exclusive farms of Irish-grown barley, we search for natural flavours via three paths: our Single Farm Origins pursue the individualism of terroir-derived flavour; our Arcadian Series expresses the intensity of flavour from alternative philosophies and long-forgotten varieties; whilst our Cuvées revel in the ultimate sophistication, where the whole is greater than the sum.Tasting NotesClove, pear tartan, allspice, fennel, ginger biscuits, barley sugar, grapefruit, stewing apples, blackberries, homemade custard.
