White Peak Wire Works Caduro Cask Strength

White Peak Distillery in Derbyshire has unveiled a cask-strength version of one of its flagship whiskies this autumn: Wire Works Caduro Cask Strength.

This limited-edition Wire Works Caduro Cask Strength is a vatting of the distillery's lightly peated single malt. It has been aged in a blend of American first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and White Peak’s unique STR casks—re-conditioned wine barriques that are shaved, toasted, and re-charred. After an additional 18-month marrying period, they say that the result is a nuanced balance of Caduro’s hallmark cereal, fruit, and honey notes.

Bottled at a natural cask strength of 58.0% ABV, Caduro Cask Strength is available exclusively in the UK and is presented in a specially designed, recyclable gift box.

The original Caduro, which won awards upon its release in March 2023, was the first permanent addition to the Wire Works Whisky collection. It’s named after the renowned cable brand once produced onsite by Johnson & Nephew at the historic Wire Works, the Distillery's home since 2016.

Claire Vaughan, co-founder at White Peak, said: "It's exciting for us to reveal a cask strength version of one of our signature whiskies. We’ve pushed our house flavour profile with this cask strength spirit, amplifying the fruit notes found in our main Caduro release to bring out more richness, complexity and depth of flavour and allowing the drinker the ability to find their own sweet spot. As with all of our Wire Works whiskies, nothing has been added during the process and there has been no chill-filtration."

Wire Works Caduro Cask Strength has a RRP  of £79 and will be available from 1st November via the Distillery shop and f
rom specialist online whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt
