Arcadian Barley, from our secret garden of delights, explores the natural flavours, intensity & honesty of the old ways. We have had to go to extraordinary lengths to eschew the quotidian varieties\u00a0\u2014<\/span>\u00a0those modern yield enhanced versions that distillers are obliged to use, in order to celebrate the lost\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>flavours \u2013 flavours that evolved over centuries in harmony with Ireland\u2019s terroirs. Indeed, to rediscover the flavour of iconic Irish barley we must venture back in time.<\/p>\n

Hunter, named after pioneering plant breeder Dr Herbert Hunter, was introduced in 1959 and\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>was for almost two decades noted for its distinctive flavour. We now reintroduce this game-changing barley to a new era of single malt connoisseurs. Vanished from the Irish landscape since the late 1970s, superceded by more economically rewarding crosses, all that remained of Hunter was a 50 gram bag in the seed bank of the Irish Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine.<\/p>\n

Planted in greenhouse grow bags, this 50 grams grew to four kilograms, and the cycle went again and again over two years, until there was enough for\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>ten acres at our partner Minch Malt\u2019s test site in Athy. Test successful, Hunter was sown on a commercial scale on the lime-rich Elton series\u00a0terroir<\/em> of Donoughmore, yielding 25.5 tonnes of malting barley \u2014 enough to fill 50 casks. It is from that first pioneering distillation that this whisky has been drawn.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
