Introducing Wire Works Over Smoke
From the renowned English whisky brand Wire Works, the latest release, 'Wire Works Over Smoke', promises a smoky experience like no other. Crafted at the White Peak Distillery, nestled in the breathtaking Derwent Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this limited edition whisky is now available for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
The Essence of Over Smoke
The name 'Over Smoke' perfectly captures its essence—this whisky is characterized by multi-layered aromas and flavors. Using a light peat base, it has undergone specific processes to enhance the smokiness, being aged in STR barrels designed to reveal deeper, more elegant smoke flavors. This innovation delivers a refined taste experience that sets it apart from traditional offerings.
Tasting Notes:
- - Aroma: As you lift the glass, enticing scents of milk chocolate and crunchy cinder toffee greet you, soon followed by the delightful aroma of Battenberg cake, orange marmalade, and fresh blackberries. Layered with fresh ginger notes and a subtle smokiness reminiscent of charred wood, it offers a complex aromatic profile.
- - Palate: Taking a sip unveils a rich and vibrant sweetness akin to blackcurrant cordial and orange peel. The flavor depth is enhanced by the spicy notes of Christmas pudding and nutmeg, brilliantly intertwined with warm hints of salted caramel and baked apple pie. Finally, a soft, powdered-sugar-like sweetness envelops the palate, leaving a lasting impression.
- - Finish: The finish is beautifully rounded with the creamy sweetness of a caramel latte, accompanied by whimsical flavors reminiscent of fruity candy mixtures—a delightful long-lasting experience. The finish brings forth the roasted aroma of lightly burnt toast, elegantly complemented by the spicy essence of ginger nut biscuits.
