@TheWhiskyWire Many many thanks to you and @whitepeakwhisky for the opportunity here. My love for the distillery deepens. Think this LBV Port is superb - and the Special Waters concept and layering on their signature profile is excellent 👏 #WireWorksWhisky
Special Waters 👅 Tropical fruit flavours arrive at first before a meaty combo of maple and bacon builds up along with a white pepper spicy heat - tastebuds suitably tantalised here #WireWorksWhisky
Wow! Farmyard funk, fried shiitake mushroom with ginger, plus mango pudding, coconut sorbet with hundreds and thousands, roses, geraniums, stewed apples with cloves, ginger and currants, and a ginger and apple strudel with vanilla cream finish #WireWorksWhisky
Special Waters 👃 Once again the high 50+% finish is totally manageable but this time the fruit content is high - am instantly reminded of Fruit Salad sweets and Juicy Fruit gum #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
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
Wire Works Special Waters, is an experimental release inspired by the practice known as ‘petites eaux’, sometimes carried out in the production of Cognac and Armagnac… #WireWorksWhisky
