Waterford Cuvée Koffi — A Dram That Does Too Much

Recently, I was kindly sent a bottle of Cuvée Koffi, a single malt whisky from Waterford Whisky , a distillery based in the Irish town of the same name. I don’t write a lot about whisky, but it’s something I enjoy immensely, and would like to write about a bit more. I particularly enjoy American bourbon and rye, but love Islay and Speyside whiskies, as much as I do Irish whisky. Or whiskey, depending on whether the distillery in question uses the ‘e’. Waterford do not. When it comes to Irish whisk(e)y, at the moment I am particularly fond of booth Teeling, and Redbreast 12. Both are what I would call ‘every day sippers’ because neither are particularly pricy, with the Redbreast 12 being slightly more expensive at just over £50 a bottle. But both are inherently mellow and smooth, with the Teeling showcasing delicate notes of citrus amid pockets of honeyed sweetness, while the Redbreast has a touch more sherried complexity: figs, dates, apricots, and marzipan. I want it to bake me a cake
