The Masthouse Column Malt Whisky is a distinguished creation from the Copper Rivet Distillery, meticulously crafted with inspiration drawn from celebrated American and Japanese distilling traditions. This English whisky is produced using Kentish malted barley, initially undergoing pot distillation before being refined in a specialized column still. Post-distillation, it is matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, offering a unique and rich flavor profile. This exquisite whisky exudes a compelling aroma, featuring notes of vanilla mousse, toffee apples, candied zest, and toasted oak. The palate is equally enchanting, with layers of vanilla cream, dried plantain, ripe pears, hazelnuts, and a hint of black pepper. The nose is further enhanced by subtle hints of banana, liquorice, and candied lemon peel. Upon tasting, one can discern freshly baked bread, malt loaf, and Demerara sugar, leading to a finish that is adorned with butterscotch, sugared almonds, porridge, and fresh all-butter pastry. The 2018 vintage is matured in a combination of casks, imparting flavors of green apples, ginger biscuits, tropical fruits, toasted oak, chocolate orange, and white pepper. The Masthouse Column Malt Whisky, notably one of Britain's first single malt whiskies to be distilled in a column still, adheres to the Invicta Whisky Charter. This rare single estate whisky is natural, unfiltered, and strikes a perfect balance of rich complexity and approachability. Crafted with specially grown Kentish grain, it embodies the ancient craft of ship mast-making at Chatham's Royal Dockyard, where it is distilled. Released in June 2021, the 2018 vintage stands as a testament to the distillery's dedication to quality and innovation.
