Grattansbrook is non-chill-filtered and aged for over three years and ten months in multiple casks, including first-fill, virgin US & French oak. 

The whisky is the first release from the 2015 harvest of Taberna barley from Grattansbrook farm in Co. Kildare. Situated on a flat, fertile flood plain of the River Barrow, Andrew Bergin's family have farmed there for nine generations. The farm follows the 'Farming for Nature' protocol, managing the land to bring biological benefits to its limestone soil.

Waterford's Single Farm Origin series explores Irish "téireoir", focusing on different types of barley grown in other areas of Ireland with various microclimates and conditions to demonstrate how it affects the flavour of the whisky. 

TONIC loves a good story, and the team at Waterford want to take us on a journey to explore their whiskies further. So each Waterford bottle carries a unique digital number – the TÉIREOIR code – which introduces you to the Irish farm and its farmers, the casks used and the whisky. Grattansbrook 1.1 code can be found here.
