Review | Wire Works Bourbon Barrel

This whisky is the second single malt whisky that will form the core range from the English distillery of White Peak in Derbyshire. The Wire Works Bourbon Barrel is the first bottling to use 100% first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, which were sourced from the Heaven Hill distillery in Kentucky, and features their oldest whisky to date. Some of this was from their very early spirit runs in 2018. The new whisky will join the Caduro as a permanent expression in the core range.

Review | Wire Works Virgin Oak

The Virgin Oak is a single malt whisky from the English distillery of White Peak. The Wire Works Virgin Oak is planned to become a core product in time, but his limited edition offers a preview. The whisky is in the distillery's signature lightly peated style and saw initial maturation in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. The spirit was then finished for several months in virgin American oak barrels with differing toasting and charring levels, then married together. 

Review / Wire Works Alter Ego

This new whisky is the latest limited edition single malt from the English distillery of White Peak.  The Wire Works Alter Ego uses the distillery's signature lightly peated single malt but with a twist. The release sees spirit used that has been distilled using alternate cut points on the still. This has resulted in different peat characteristics and caused fruitier elements to appear. This rare spirit has been matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and is bottled at 51.8% ABV. Wire Works Alter Ego is available from the distillery shop and via www.whitepeakdistillery.co.uk. It will also be sold through selected specialist whisky retailers in the UK. A bottle will cost £65.
