The new project by Bruichladdich front man Mark Reynier is an exercise in extreme terroir (or TIREOIR in Gaelic). Using barley grown on one specific farm the Single Farm Origin series offer an uber-provenance experience exploring the significance of place in barley and whiskey production. These intentionally spirit forward whiskies are completely unadulterated – no coloring, chill-filtration or any additives whatsoever. Dunmore Edition 1.1 was grown by John Tynan in County Laois. John Tynans barley fields contain an early medieval fort that lends the town its name “An Dn Mr, the big fort”. Nestled between the Slieve Bloom Mountains & the Castlecomer Plateau, this westerly-facing, lowland terroir is composed of limestone-derived loamy drift that harbours a compact gravelly tilth. The cask composition before bottling at 100 proof is: 33% first fill US oak, 18% virgin US oak, 25% premium French oak and 24% Vin Doux Naturel (sweet fortified wines). Each bottle of Single Farm Origin whiskey has a TIREOIR code offering an unparalleled level of information on each botlting. TIREOIR CODE: F017E01-01
