Wire Works Whisky is distilled and matured in a region with a long history of beer making, in the industrial heart of England. At one time in the past, 1 in 4 pints of beer sold in Britain came from just down the road in Burton-upon-Trent. The region is steeped in brewing heritage, and the great flavours that can be created through key aspects such as yeast and fermentation; a central focus in White Peak's whisky-making.
The 2023 limited edition of Wire Works Necessary Finish has been matured in rather special casks previously used to age Thornbridge’s award winning Necessary Evil Imperial stout. In an added twist, the stout casks were originally used to mature Pedro Ximénez sherry (‘PX’).
Tasting Note from The Distillery:
A sweet & savoury stout finish single malt whisky, with hazelnuts, light roast coffee and roasted malt on the nose. Cacao nibs, dates, prunes and marmalade on the palate, and a sweet malty, smoky finish.
