“Rob and I tasted this cask sample together in the tasting room at White Peak, and it immediately stood out to us with it’s powerful spicy character and subtle fruit driven distillate, it’ll be a pleasure to try this one again from the bottle!”
Tasting Notes
Matured in a barrel left over smoke after the charring process, this whisky showcases the deliciously fruity distillate found at White Peak Distillery and pairs it with dense oak and complex smokes. Wood smoke and peat smoke delicately wisp around on both the nose and finish. Flavours of skin-on almonds, toasted spices and touches of nectarine make this a splendid Derbyshire dram.
Distillery
Rob Whitehead says: “White Peak Distillery, in the village of Ambergate, exudes a solidity and thoughtful confidence that might be as true a distillation of the manifest will of the co-founders as I’ve come across in my whisky travels. Seeking to place their mark and build for the future, their choice of an immensely long Victorian former wire mill shows this intent, with what must currently be a spirits industry record for the ratio of length of warehouse to cask stock holding!”
