England’s first modern era whisky distillery is back with a new batch of single malt whisky, but this is a little special.
It’s a single cask of triple distilled peated malt, that’s been, matured in a first-fill ex-Jim Beam Barrel.
Being a family owned distillery, they’ve been able to experiment with grains, and distillation techniques.
This started life just like any other heavily peated malt wash from the distillery - double distilled. Once the spirit had been collected off of the spirit still it was redistilled again, further refining the spirit.
They start collecting the spirit at 92% abv and finish their cut at 75%. It’s then diluted to 68% for barrel entry.
NOSE
Vanilla custard and fudge, with a gentle drifting charcoal smoke and crisp green apples. Very elegant!
TASTE
There’s a immediate sweet peat reek to a creamy butterscotch note
There’s a hint of mint that lingers right through to the long finish.
This is wonderful!
ABOUT THE LABEL
