White Peak
Distillery marks its 10th anniversary
this month with the release of Wire
Works Caduro X limited edition.
White Peak Distillery is celebrating its
10th anniversary this month with the
release of Wire Works Caduro X, a
limited-edition single malt English
whisky created to honour a decade of
Derbyshire craftsmanship and flavour
innovation.
Established in 2016 and located at the
historic former Johnson & Nephew Wire
Works site in Ambergate, the distillery
has earned recognition for its focus on
provenance, heritage and flavour-led
whisky making. Caduro X has been
developed to commemorate this milestone,
reflecting both the character of the
distillery and the journey it has taken
over the past ten years.
Drawing inspiration from Caduro in the
Wire Works Provenance Core range, Caduro
X is a vatting of first-fill ex-bourbon
barrels and the distillery’s signature
STR (shaved, toasted and re-charred)
ex-red wine casks. The anniversary
release also combines both
“regular-cuts” and “alt-cuts” single
malts, with alternative distillation
cut-points used to amplify a brighter,
more tropical fruit-forward profile,
complemented by a subtle increase in
peat influence.
To add further depth and complexity, the
whisky has been reduced to its bottling
strength of 46.8% ABV using "special
waters" – a process involving the
maturation of low-strength spirit in oak
casks to draw out additional
water-soluble flavours and textures.
Just 1,000 bottles of Caduro X have been
produced and will be made available this
month. The whisky is bottled at natural
colour and is non-chill filtered.
Claire Vaughan, co-founder of White
Peak, says: "Over the past ten years, we’ve taken a
hands-on approach to learn more about
how whisky develops its character -
exploring every step from mashing &
fermentation through distillation,
maturation and vatting. Caduro X marks a
milestone, but moreover is the evolution
of these ideas. We are a small team of
whisky enthusiasts, constantly
exploring, testing and refining in
pursuit of flavour. This mindset is at
the heart of The Wire Works - a place
with a 150+ year history of making,
where innovation and craft go hand in
hand. What’s made the journey truly
special, though, is the community around
us. From the very beginning, we’ve been
supported by an incredible group of
people who’ve believed in what we’re
building. We hope the next ten years
continue in that same spirit - bringing
people together, sharing what we make,
and always striving to do it better."
You will find the Wire Works Caduro X available from specialist online whisky
