Cuvée: Argot is the exuberant little brother to the distillery’s flagship bottling The Cuvée. Inspired by Bordeaux once again, if The Cuvée is their Grand Vin, Cuvée: Argot is their Second Vin — our second wine — revelling in the same remarkable complexity, ground-breaking distillation & revolutionary transparency & traceability, but with a little less élevage in oak for freshness, vibrancy and drinkability.

Waterford Distillery

The vineyard inspiration behind their vision begins with their founder, Mark Reynier, who has over four decades of experience in the industry, from owning a Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy, to being a wine importer and merchant in London; then in 2001 came the resurrection of the iconic Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, where he established the Botanist Gin, Port Charlotte and Octomore single malts. It wasn’t until he founded Waterford Distillery in 2016, in the South East of Ireland – home to the perfect growing conditions for producing the world’s finest barley – that the principles such as terroir, biodynamics and cuvées could be firmly and rigorously applied to barley and whisky. An idea 40 years in the making.
Light honey yellow with oils that meander down the glass. Aromas of orange peel, almonds, stewed apple, bread crust, green foliage, mixed berries, fennel, white chocolate, red toffee apple, barnyard. The palate has flavours of white pepper, bell peppers, granola, grapefruit, smokey barbecue, banana milkshake, green apple skin, chewable, clove rock, barley sugar, vine tomatoes. Leading to a finish with dry pepperiness with barley sugar and gentle warmth.
