product Details

Wire Works Rum Cask Finish

White Peak distillery was founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team, Max & Claire Vaughan. When the facility was completed inside the former Johnson & Nephew Wire Works, it became the first whisky producer in the county of Derbyshire. In the 19th century, the Wire Works was known for producing some of the highest quality cabling in the world. The factory’s galvanised products would be used in the first cross-Channel communication line, suspension bridges and buildings all over the world.  Max & Claire describe their operation as “very manual,” and involves a mixture of peated and unpeated spirit. A four-day fermentation period is their standard and distillation takes place in small custom-built, copper pot stills. Early examples of the distillery’s spirit were made available from 2020, including an independent release from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, and the distillery debuted its inaugural single malt in 2022.

This lightly-peated single malt was initially matured in two American oak ex-bourbon barrels sourced from Heaven Hill Distillery and finished for approximately 17 months in rum-seasoned casks.

In recognition to the facilities manufacturing past, the glass bottle is presented in the form of a wound galvanised cable.

One of 558 bottles released in 2022.
