Distillery releases ‘perfect fireside dram’

White Peak Distillery has announced details of its latest whisky, which promises to warm up the cold winter nights ahead.

The Derbyshire distillery has released Wire Works Virgin Oak, its second whisky that has been matured in Virgin Oak – and a development of a limited release in 2022.

Bottled at 50.5% ABV, Virgin Oak has been made with lightly peated malted barley, live brewer’s yeast and a six-day fermentation time to add deep fruit notes in the spirit.

Claire Vaughan, founder of White Peak Distillery said: “In our latest release, we’re giving whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to savour the unique flavours of our lightly-peated spirit and explore the journey our whisky has taken in new wood.

“Matured in Virgin Oak casks from the renowned Kelvin Cooperage, celebrated for exceptional quality, this is a development of the limited edition 2022 release.

“The selection of char levels in this vatting introduces a delightful range of flavours, from lighter toasted nuts, vanilla, and sweetness to the richer notes of caramel and toffee. This whisky is a perfect dram for the fireside.”
