Little did they know that their crystal-making venture would face its share of challenges. Fast forward to the 19th century, and the entire glass-making industry in Ireland was on the verge of collapse. This setback marked a turbulent time for Waterford Crystal, and the production came to a halt in 1851. As the demand for Waterford Crystal grew, so did the obstacles.

Rediscovering Historical Grains in the Pursuit of FlavourAt the turn of the 20th century, farmers in the south of Ireland led the barley breeding movement, creating strong, resilient varieties of barley grown to be malted for use in beer and whisky making. Were these grains more flavourful? Did they exhibit characteristics that we may have interest in today? Most of these historic, heritage varieties have long since died out, but five years ago the team at Waterford Distillery wondered if they might be able to resurrect some of these long-lost grains.  They began by exploring the history of Ireland's heritage barley varieties. 2022-10-0329 minTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky Podcast3.

The Concentration of FlavourWhen we think of whisky production, brochure-friendly polished copper stills, stainless steel and piping spring to mind, but what really happens at this stage? Can the flavour nuances of terroir survive what appears from the outside to be quite an industrial process?   In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we’re looking at the science behind distillation, the unique low and slow distilling approach favoured by Waterford Distillery and how distillation can preserve, concentrate and maximise each barley field’s unique flavour.2021-03-2331 minTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky Podcast4. From Malt to MashWaterford Distillery’s unique whisky-making approach is centered around capturing the unique flavours present in each of the grower’s fields of barley. Before distilling can concentrate the flavours, there are a few essential steps to help extract those flavours from the grain and preserve their terroir.       In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we’ll follow the barley from the field to the maltster and on to the brewing stage with Grace O’Reilly, Waterford Distillery’s agronomist and Neil Conway, Head Brewer.2021-03-1630 minTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky Podcast3. A Farm-First ApproachA terroir-driven approach to whisky making begins with the land - the fields and farms that give Waterford Distillery its barley. It's in these fields that the growers and their families maximize the flavour-potential of their barley crop. Aided and advised by Grace O’Reilly, Ireland’s only distillery-employed agronomist, growers follow a different process to growing and harvesting.   In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast we’ll meet growers who have farmed their land for generations, we’ll learn what it means to them to be part of Waterford Distillery’s approach and we’ll f...2021-03-0932 minTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky Podcast2.

In this episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, we hear from whisky industry experts and enthusiasts who paint a picture of a whisky industry that has followed a certain approach to whisky making for many years and how Waterford Distillery’s pursuit of a barley and a flavour-forward process has been met with raised eyebrows and criticism from whisky producers an...2021-03-0231 minTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky Podcast1. The Genesis of an IdeaWaterford Whisky has been years in the making. Before the establishment of the distillery and before terroir-driven spirit flowed from the stills on the banks of the River Suir, founder Mark Reynier spent a career in the wine and Scotch whisky world. Inspired by a different approach to the growing of vines and barley, Mark applied the insights gleaned in the years prior to his arrival in Waterford to the planning of a very different type of whisky distillery.   In this first episode of Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky podcast, Mark Reynier opens up about the e...2021-02-2326 minTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastTerroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastIntroducing Terroir-Driven: The Waterford Whisky PodcastWaterford Distillery Founder Mark Reynier has spent the last 5 years telling everyone who’ll listen (and even those who won’t) that he believes there’s an alternative to how whiskey has been made for generations. He believes there’s a better way and that mass production and a focus on yield has replaced a focus on flavour. He has strong opinions and firmly held beliefs and he’s betting the farm, many farms in fact, on these opinions being true and ultimately that they’ll matter to the whisky drinker who purchases a bottle of Waterford Whisky.   2021-02-0703 minWaterford Church of Christ SermonsWaterford Church of Christ SermonsWe have the Power of GodRom 1:1-4 Tad Masteller's First Sermon at Waterford Church of Christ2020-03-1531 minCalvary WaterfordCalvary WaterfordThere is HopeA special message recorded by Pastor Tyrone Power.
