"The Graduate" The Oxford Artisan Distillery Rye Whisky
Now in its fourth iteration, The Oxford Artisan Distillery's Rye has labelled this batch of their Rye Whisky "The Graduate". Made with heritage rye grains (a distillery speciality) it has been aged in six American Oak casks with different origins, toasts, and sizes (130L and 225L) which adds a beautifully complexity.
This is a bright, spicy and herbal whisky. Notes of sticky ginger cake, old books and ripe banana mingle with creamy custard, salty roasted nuts and toffee.
With only 1428 bottles produced, this fourth bottling is the highest proof to date at 51.3% augmenting the big, bold flavours. A double-distillation in bespoke stills, brings toasty sourdough smokiness, beautifully combined with sweet vanilla and toffee notes.
The organic heritage grain was grown in sandy soils just 7 miles from the distillery. This included multiple ancient heritage rye strains, wheat strains and even some oats and a few thistles! This mix gives the whisky its unique, signature flavour.
The distillery’s grain actually improves soil health in the English countryside - it is grown specifically for the distillery, making The Oxford Artisan Distillery the only distillery in the world with a license to use these strains of heritage grains, farmed exclusively for flavour and not volume of crop.
