White Peak Distillery Wire Works Whisky Small Batch Release 3


23rd June 2022
White Peak Distillery releases the third batch of their Wire Works Whisky Small Batch, this time at a strength of 46.2% ABV.

White Peak Distillery Wire Works Whisky Small BatchWhite Peak Distillery Wire Works Whisky Small Batch is the third 'Small Batch' release from the White Peak Distillery, Derbyshire’s first full-scale craft Distillery.

This third release of Wire Works Whisky Small Batch single malt English whisky is related to the first two releases, however Small  Batch 3 has been bottled at a lower strength of of 46.2%ABV. Described as a lightly-peated single malt whisky from a small batch vatting of American and French oak casks, the spirit has been fully matured in predominantly STR casks (re-conditioned casks that have been shaved, toasted and re-charred) with a significant element of ex-bourbon. The use of these casks compliment the White Peak house style of fruit forward new make.

White Peak Distillery tells me that the resulting spirit is a complex, approachable single malt whisky with sweet popcorn, and orchard fruits on the nose, brandy baskets, banana and sandalwood on the palate, and a sweet vanilla finish, with a touch of nutmeg.

White Peak Distillery was founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team Max & Claire Vaughan - both originally from Derbyshire – and continues to go from strength to strength, having won awards not only for its whisky but also for its Distillery visitor experiences.

Max Vaughan, Co-founder of White Peak Distillery said: "We were incredibly humbled by the fantastic reaction to our first release of Wire Works Whisky in February and would like to say a big thank you to our various communities of supporters. Our first bottling sold out much more quickly than we could have ever anticipated, so we’re delighted to be releasing another small batch bottling and we’re looking forward to the exciting plans we have for the rest of 2022 and beyond."

Just over 4,300 bottles of this third batch of Wire Works Whisky Small Batch will be released and will be available from today 23rd June via the White Peak Distillery online shop and in-person from the Distillery’s shop from 24th June, RRP: £60 (70cl).
