White Peak Distillery’s latest limited whisky release ‘Necessary Evil Finish’ celebrates the best of Derbyshire’s local drinks scene. This whisky has been many years in the making and a proper Derbyshire collaboration, bringing together Wire Works Whisky, Derbyshire’s first single malt whisky, and nearby Thornbridge Brewery’s famous Necessary Evil imperial stout.
Provenance, heritage and flavour are at the heart of the Distillery ethos. Every aspect of whisky-making takes place on-site at the former wire works to ensure that the unique location and environment can play their part in the finished whisky; a full life-cycle of Derbyshire provenance.
Wire Works Necessary Evil Finish whisky was initially matured for a minimum of 3 years in first fill ex-bourbon barrels before being ‘finished’ for several months in oak barrels previously used by Thornbridge to age its Necessary Evil stout. This gives the whisky a complex, unique flavour profile, with chocolate, malt, cereal, fruit and smoke notes.
Max Vaughan, White Peak Distillery Co-Founder commented “This is one of the 2022 whisky releases that we’ve been looking forward to for years. We wanted to finish some of our single malt with a flavour-forward beer with the power to add a unique finish to our whisky. At 13% ABV, the iconic Necessary Evil created by our friends up the road at Thornbridge is more than up to the job. This is a whisky with a solid Derbyshire pedigree.”
Wire Works Whisky Necessary Evil Finish is a limited 2,059 bottle release, bottled at 51.3% ABV and priced at £65 (70cl). A Distillery exclusive, the only way to buy a bottle is through White Peak Distillery’s website or its Distillery shop at the Wire Works in Ambergate. Find out more at www.whitepeakdistillery.co.uk
