Waterford Distillery in south east Ireland has a mission – to create the most profound single malt whisky that has ever been seen. The distillery produces single malt whiskey in Waterford City and was originally rebuilt in 2004 as a Guinness brewery.

It was shut down a decade later and in 2015 transformed into a state-of-the-art single malt whiskey distillery.

Here CEO, Mark Reynier provides an update on progress and of his ambition to create the most profound single malt whisky that has ever been seen.
