White Peak Wire Works

Wire Works Small Batch is the third Single Malt Whisky Release from White Peak, following the inaugural first release and the distillery-only over-smoke edition. Using a combination of 80% unpeated and 20% peated English barley, resulting in a phenol level of around 11ppm, a four-day fermentation period used a yeast blend incorporating live yeast sourced from the nearby Thornbridge Brewery. Spirit was filled into first-fell ex-bourbon, virgin oak, and STR Red Wine casks- all made from either American or French oak - at a variety of ages averaging around 4 years were then selected for the batch, with predominantly STR being used as well as a significant amount of ex-Bourbon. 4323 bottles were released at 46.2% ABV, with no colour or chill filtration taking place.
