About the Single Malt
The new-make spirit that goes into this barrel has been through a long, considered process beginning simply with malted barley, water and yeast. These ingredients, in the hands of the experienced brewing team at Lancaster Brewery, are mashed and fermented into a beer 'wash'.
The wash is introduced to Constance, the gleaming bespoke pot still that takes centre stage in the purpose-built warehouse: 'The Whisky Room'. The distilling is hands on, with no automation. The experienced distillers use their finely honed palates to make sure that only the very best cuts make their way into our collection tanks.
Then crystal clear water from The Bowland Well is used to reduce the spirit to the desired cask-filling strength of 63.5% Alc. Custom-fit racking bays line the walls of The Whisky Room and here, the filled casks are set to mature over the coming years.
Owning a cask means you can bottle some of the very first whisky matured in Lancaster, a unique piece of Lancastrian distilling history.
Lancaster is a unique, ancient and wonderful city that sits between the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland, surrounded by stunning coastlines and countryside.
Coupled with an experimental flair and awareness for sustainability, and as a small, independently owned distillery, Lancaster Spirits Co. have all the building blocks for a truly exciting whisky-making adventure.
Not content with simply imitating Scotch whisky, instead they take inspiration from it and marry with an experimental edge and a willingness to explore new malts, yeasts and casks.
The casks are then carefully stored in the damp yet mild Lancaster climate, slowly developing the flavours, aromas and character that will be savoured for generations to come.
