Cotswolds Peated Cask Single Malt Whisky

The Cotswolds Peated Cask Single Malt Whisky has a creamy peat smoke flavour on the palate. Moreover layered with fruit and tannin rich wood. Notes of honey and vanilla.

The whisky utilises 100% locally grown, floor-malted barley. This is mashed and then fermented for more than 90 hours before a double distillation in their bespoke copper pot stills.

This results in a light and fruity new-make spirit.

Together with creamy peat smoke, the whisky is layered with fruit and tannin rich wood. Notes of honey and vanilla.

Process

After being diluted to 63.5% ABV, they then filled ex-peated quarter casks from Scotland with the new-make spirit and left these to mature.

As a result, this has allowed the rich and fruity spirit to take on a light smoked peat flavour.

The whisky has been fully matured in these casks and bottled at cask strength (59.3% ABV), non-chill filtered and with no added colouring.

Malt: Odyssey, grown on Cotswolds farms and floor-malted at Warminster Maltings.

Yeast: Two complementary varieties - Anchor and Fermentis - to ensure good yields and excellent fruity flavours.

Water: Village water supply - filtered, softened and demineralised before use.

Wood: Ex-peated quarter casks from Scotland.
