White Peak Distillery ramps up Wire Works Caduro with Cask Strength release
Published Date: 28th October 2024
White Peak – Derbyshire’s award-winning distillery – is revealing a cask strength edition of one of its signature whiskies this autumn – Wire Works Caduro Cask Strength.
The latest Wire Works release – the name given to White Peak’s range of whiskies – is a limited-edition vatting of the Distillery’s lightly peated house style of single malt, matured in a combination of American first fill ex-bourbon casks and the distillery’s signature STR casks (re-conditioned wine barriques that have been shaved, toasted and re-charred). The vatted spirit has spent a further 18 months marrying, resulting in a rich and intricate harmony of Caduro’s cereal, fruit and honey flavours.
Bottled at a natural cask strength of 58.0% ABV, Caduro Cask Strength is only available in the UK direct from the Distillery and through select trade partners. For the gifting season this release marks a Wire Works first and will be available in a special re-cyclable presentation box.
The original award-winning Caduro was released in March 2023 and was the first permanent edition to the Wire Works Whisky range, named after the global cable brand that was once made onsite by Johnson & Nephew at the former Wire Works, the Distillery home since 2016.
Claire Vaughan, co-founder at White Peak, said: “It’s exciting for us to reveal a cask strength version of one of our signature whiskies. We’ve pushed our house flavour profile with this cask strength spirit, amplifying the fruit notes found in our main Caduro release to bring out more richness, complexity and depth of flavour and allowing the drinker the ability to find their own sweet spot. As with all of our Wire Works whiskies, nothing has been added during the process and there has been no chill-filtration.”
On the nose, pear drops, baked apple and banana notes, moving into more unctuous rich flavours on the palate: marmalade, treacle tart, milk chocolate and nutmeg, with a balance of grapefruit zest. And the finish delivers more sweetness with bonfire toffee, cinnamon and crème brulee, alongside a hint of smoke.
Caduro Cask Strength will be available from 1st November via the Distillery shop and online, as well as from trade partners, RRP: £79 per 70cl.
The Distillery is open Monday – Saturday for shop visitors, with tours available every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. For availability, timings and to book, please visit:White Peaks Distillery Website
