Description
Wire Works Whisky is underpinned by our unique heritage and made with a focus on flavour and proud Derbyshire provenance. The First Release left the Distillery in February 2022, and since then, we’ve been grateful to receive a great response, with awards for several Wire Works Whisky releases.
Wire Works Whisky flavour is built upon our considered approach to whisky-making, resulting in a complex, well-balanced and lightly-peated spirit. The palate and nose deliver fruit forward notes, bonfire toffee and sweet vanilla, with a rich mouth feel and long finish.
Nose: Bakewell pudding, milk chocolate, cinder toffee, burnt sugar, cinnamon buns, liquorice all sorts, cherry lozenges, toasted almond, candied ginger, strawberry jam.
Palate: Marzipan, strawberries and cream, tinned peaches, lemon curd, vanilla fudge, spearmint, dark chocolate, grapefruit zest and iced buns.
Finish: Cherry pie filling, bonfire toffee, hibiscus, biltong, and eucalyptus.
Full Port is White Peak's very first release of Wire Works whisky matured fully in port casks. The casks are all made at family-owned Dias Cooperage in Porto. Each cask is made at the cooperage by local, high-skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques, knowledge built up and passed down over many years from generation to generation.
Once the casks have been used in the Port sector they make their way back to the cooperage before embarking on a second career in whisky. The ultimate in refill and reuse. White Peak filled these casks in 2019 and they’ve been laid down in their lower dunnage warehouse ever since.
