The Wire Works Necessary Evil Finish is a limited-edition English single malt whisky from White Peak Distillery, distilled in the heart of Derbyshire, UK. This exclusive 2022 release marks the fifth expression from the distillery and boasts an impressive ABV of 51.3%. Only 2059 bottles have been crafted, each a testament to the distillery's dedication to quality and innovation. The whisky’s journey begins in ex-bourbon barrels, where it matures for a minimum of three years. It is then finished for several months in ex-stout casks from Thornbridge Brewery, originally used to age Pedro Ximenez sherry. This unique finishing process imparts rich layers of dark fruit and chocolatey malt to the whisky, creating a complex and memorable flavor profile.
Part of the esteemed Wire Works series, the Necessary Evil Finish showcases the exceptional quality and regional character that White Peak Distillery is known for. The distillery, located on a historically significant site in Ambergate, pays homage to the area's industrial heritage, particularly the legacy of wire manufacturing. The region’s long history of beer making is also celebrated, with the Pedro Ximenez sherry character of the casks adding extra layers of complexity to this single malt whisky.
On the nose, the whisky reveals inviting aromas of hazelnuts, lightly-roasted coffee, and roasted malt, complemented by cocoa nibs, prune, and raisin on the palate. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a hint of mocha and malty smoke, making each sip a captivating experience. Presented in an elegant bottle that can come in a presentation box, this whisky is a true collector's item.
