Description

This recent release from our friends at White Peak distillery in Derbyshire is a splendid example of judicious oak usage. The house style here is a very lightly peated malt, and, with three years in classic ex-bourbon barrels and then an extra half-year or thereabouts in juicy fresh oak, a pleasingly rich complexity has emerged. Just over 3,000 bottles of this have been made, and mine will find favour alongside aged cheeses and seeded bread.

About this spirit

White Peak Distillery

Nestled in the verdant Derbyshire hills, Claire and Max Vaughan produce Gin and Single Malt Whisky in the inspiringly industrial setting of a former Victorian Wire factory. Alongside their talented team, they use the very best of traditional whisky production, whilst exploring the range of exciting cask types and malting techniques that are available in the modern era. One interesting diversion from the paradigm is their use of live brewer’s yeast from nearby Thornbridge Brewery, to which they attribute some of the rich, fruity flavours inherent in their new make spirit.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
