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
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."

batch of Wire Works Whisky Small Batch
will be released and will be available
from today 23rd June via the White Peak
