Using the world's finest barley, Waterford's Single Farm Origin series is an uber-provenance range of limited edition natural whiskies that explore Irish terroir.

Crafted with 100% Irish barley from the farm of Richard Raftice, Rathclogh showcases the terroir of the farm, overlooked by an old stone fort. The all-natural expression was aged in a combination of first-fill & virgin US oak, French oak, and fortified wine casks.
