White Peak Distillery: Elevating the Art of Whisky-Making

Derbyshire-based White Peak Distillery is taking the world of whisky by storm with its latest release, Wire Works Bourbon Barrel. This award-winning distillery has been perfecting its craft since 2016, and its newest expression is a testament to its commitment to quality and innovation.

Ex-bourbon barrels at White Peak Distillery

Wire Works Bourbon Barrel is the first release to be fully matured in ex-bourbon barrels, showcasing the distillery’s unique flavour profile. Each oak cask was filled with Wire Works’ signature lightly-peated single malt spirit, resulting in a complex and fruit-forward whisky.

“Bourbon Barrel is a signature whisky for us, elevating our house style and showcasing our unique flavour elements; our Derbyshire home, lightly-peated malt barley, fresh local Brewer’s yeast, long fermentation and slow distillation.” - Max Vaughan, founder of White Peak Distillery

The use of ex-bourbon barrels in maturation allows the distillery’s true house character to shine through. With over six years of experience under its belt, White Peak Distillery is confident that this release will delight whisky enthusiasts.
