Wire Works Port Wine LBV Finish Single Malt 70cl

Wire Works Port Wine LBV Whisky is a dual maturation of White Peak Distillery's lightly-peated spirit, initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, and finished in ‘Late Bottled Vintage’ Port barriques, which impart vibrant, fruity-sweet notes to the aging whisky.

LBV Port wine itself is made from grapes harvested in a specific year, and left to cask age from 4 to 6 years, allowing a gentle oxidation, and providing a well-rounded, fruity, and velvety profile.

Release size just 1293 bottles.

Once the casks have finished being used to age port, they get a new lease of life releasing all that pent up flavour into ageing whisky.

White Peak, a Derbyshire distillery established in 2016 by Max and Claire Vaughan, crafts English whisky, rum, and gin. Situated at a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a former wire works near River Derwent: thus the Wire Works brand. Their on-site process, from mashing malt to slow fermentation, influenced by local yeast, creates a unique flavour profile.
