THIS MADE THE CUT BECAUSE
White Peak Distillery in Derbyshire, the makers of Wire Works whisky, creates a lightly smoked, super fruity whisky, and when fully matured in a tawny port cask…wow. If ever a whisky was a winter warmer - this would be it.
It’s smoky and sweet, juicy and savoury - an explosion of burnt ends, smoked blackberries and scorched strawberry jam. With all of that going on in each sip, how could we not!
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
As the distillery uses yeast from Thornbridge, it seems only natural to pair it with a Thornbridge brew! If you’re into your stouts, like Georgie, go for their Necessary Evil - an Imperial Stout matured in a Bourbon cask for 8 months, or for a lighter IPA we’d recommend Thornbridge Jaipur - Fab’s favourite.
For a fun high/low combo, check out Small Beer Co’s Pale Ale, a bright citrussy ale that acts as a canvas for the whisky.
