Wire Works Necessary Evil Finish 2023
The White Peak Distillery in Derbyshire has always made whisky appreciating the region's historical and present connection to beer so it's no surprise to see them release a single malt whisky finished in casks previously used to age an award-winning imperial stout. The beer in this case is Necessary Evil, brewed locally up the A6 by the distillery's mates at Thornbridge Brewery.
The annual release has taken things up a notch for 2023, however, as these casks, previously used to age the Imperial stout originally contained Pedro Ximénez sherry. It's a double trouble finish that combines two rich and weighty styles and we're bang into it.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Creamy and nutty with espresso, chocolate-coated raspberries, smoked almonds, and toffee apples.
Palate
Heaps of dark and dried fruit joined by more dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted nuts.
Finish
Sweet and rich and smoky.
