The third iteration of a distillery favourite limited-edition whisky, Necessary Evil Finish Batch 3 is a dual maturation of White Peak’s lightly-peated spirit, matured initially in bourbon barrels, before being finished in casks that previously held Thornbridge’s celebrated imperial stout, Necessary Evil.
The STR (ex-red wine, shaved, toasted and recharred) finishing casks began life with Wire Works whisky, went on to mature Necessary Evil stout (winner of World Beer Awards 2024 World’s Best Flavoured Beer), and then returned to White Peak. It's a beer-meets-whisky, Derbyshire tale of flavour, bottled at 51.3% ABV.
Cola cubes, creamy coffee, milk chocolate and caramel digestive biscuits, ground almonds, sour cherry and apple sweets, and cinnamon.
The stout character is right there: rich and creamy chocolate, coffee, caramel, vanilla, and burnt wood. Sticky dried fruit, orange peel, garden herbs, a hint of spearmint, and ginger.
Mint chocolate chip ice cream drenched in stout, with a touch of spent match smoke.
