Well, Dram London was a lovely place to start. Hepburn know their bottles well. But that bottling from #WireWorks takes it. #Whisky

Alex had the chance to chat with Wire Works founder Max on his tour of the distillery and hear all about their pursuit of unique flavour and authenticity. Nothing like whisky wisdom straight from the source! #ReallyGoodWhisky #WireWorks #DistilleryTour #Bourbon #Distillery #SingleMalt #WhiskyLover

Huge thanks @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @whitepeak.bsky.social for a great tasting, 4 fantastic drams and a fab #whisky glass, thanks. I love #WireWorksWhisky and the highlight tonight was hard to choose but it was between the Caduro Cask Strength and Special Waters

Special Waters - Palate : Juicy and fruity but it has an immediately noticable earthy element. The fruits are blackcurrant and apple again with charred oak, chili chocolate and slightly tongue numbing menthol and aniseed that turns to cooling mint imperials as it finishes. (1/2) #WireWorksWhisky

With water, there's a creamy mouthfeel with tulips, furniture polish, Calvados, Lyle's golden syrup over creamy porridge, hot buttered brioche, spiced toasted teacakes slathered with butter and honey, and a ginger snaps with creamy vanilla custard finish. Fabulous! #WireWorksWhisky

Huge thanks to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for organising the #WireWorksWhisky @tastings.bsky.social and @whitepeak.bsky.social for supplying the drams. For me they started great and just got better and better. Special Waters being amazing! A great little distillery releasing some very special drams!

Adding some water and some overripe notes pull through, black pepper, but still that mouth feel is present, offering rich sweetness over biscuity notes. #WireWorksWhisky

All excellent drams the Special Waters being the stand out for me!! #WireWorksWhisky P: a chewy dram, chocolate fudges, after eights. plums, crumbs and (wine) gums #WireWorksWhisky

Four fantastic drams. Would be too tricky to decide on a favourite. Great stuff happening at White Peak #WireWorksWhisky

For me, D1, Bourbon Barrel is an absolute blinder for a core range type whisky. Then the Caduro and the LBV are both stunning. I can't choose! You can identify distillery character & that's shown by the amount of people getting similar notes throughout the drams. Great stuff. #WireWorksWhisky

First time sampling #WireWorksWhisky All great drams but the port stood out with special waters second. Thank you Steve for another great night @thewhiskywire.bsky.social

Honestly, I can't pick one. They're all stunners for different reasons. I'm looking forward to revisiting these soon! #WireWorksWhisky

Thank you to @thewhiskywire.bsky.social and @whitepeak.bsky.social for a fantastic tasting tonight. My dram of the night has to be the Caduro Cask Strength which was absolutely delicious #WireWorksWhisky #Scotch #Whisky

Thanks to Steve @thewhiskywire.bsky.social and to @whitepeak.bsky.social for allowing me to try these fantastic whiskies this evening. #Wireworkswhisky #WhiskyWire

Thanks @thewhiskywire.bsky.social and @whitepeak.bsky.social for a great tasting and some great drams. Top notch #WireWorksWhisky

Dram 4. Special Waters. On the palate, it's just as sticky and complex as I'd hoped. Definitely some smoke coming through, and there's a lovely background sweetness to the flavour. #wireworkswhisky

The process involves ageing low strength spirit, for subsequent use as ‘proofing water’ on the higher strength equivalent, to dilute to final bottling strength... #WireWorksWhisky

The low alcohol waters extract flavours from the cask that aren’t accessible at higher ABVs. For this release, the special water was matured in a refill American oak STR cask, enhancing the finished bottling with a luxurious velvety texture, and rich indulgent notes. #WireWorksWhisky

Dram 4. Special Waters. On the nose is loads of syrup. Sticky and warm, and smells very moreish. #wireworkswhisky

Dram 4 Special Waters: 57.3% Colour: Burnt yellow/Ochre Nose: Fresh green fruit, apple, brandy, cider, apple juice, a little shortbread, icing sugar, back of hand gives a little pine, mints, humbugs. #WireWorksWhisky

Final dram of the night is @whitepeak.bsky.social Special Waters at 57.3% ABV. I was lucky enough to try this at Kendal Whisky Festival last year & it ended up being my dram of the year for 2024! Can't wait to buy a case when it's released! malt-musings.blogspot.com/2025/01/whit... #WireWorksWhisky

Well it's safe to say that the palate has delivered all the promises - and more, that the nose made. I need a bottle of this in my life. #WireWorksWhisky

A perfect full house from Brian ;) #WireWorlsWhisky

@whitepeak.bsky.social Port Nose: huge hedgerow berry notes: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries all with a lovely background of smoke. There's some strawberry Toffos, plums, black cherries and a little brown sugar. #WireWorksWhisky

So rich and more-ish with Port in a silver goblet, vanilla, toffee, butterscotch, crème caramel, crystallised sugar, Lyle's Golden Syrup and Werther's Originals with a Porty and ginger finish, plus dry spices #WireWorksWhisky

Nice to already be trending on Bluesky! 🥃@whitepeak.bsky.social #WireWorksWhisky
