White Peak Distillery Launches New Wire Works Whisky
The second Virgin Oak barrel expression from the Wire Works whisky brand to be aged in such a barrel has been released by White Peak Distillery.
The whisky is prepared with live brewer’s yeast, mildly peated malted barley, and a six-day fermentation period to give deep fruit overtones. It is bottled at 50.5% ABV. Lightly peated single malt whiskey that was first aged in first fill ex-bourbon barrels is finished for several months in the aforementioned virgin American oak barrels.
