White Peak Wire Works - Necessary Evil English Single Malt Whisky
In stock
A stout finished single malt English whisky...but not just any stout. Necessary Evil is a Derbyshire-crafted imperial stout (ABV of 13%), in this instance aged in oak PX hogsheads by our friends up the road at Thornbridge Brewery.
Wire Works Whisky Necessary Evil Finish is a proper Derbyshire collaboration. First matured spirit in fresh, first fill ex-bourbon barrels for a minimum of 3 years before disgorging the whisky and finishing for several months in the stout seasoned PX oak casks from Thornbridge.
Tasting Notes:
A sweet & savoury stout finish single malt whisky, with hazelnuts, light roast coffee and roasted malt on the nose, with cacao nibs, dates, prunes and marmalade on the palate, and a sweet malty, smoky finish.
