About this White Peak Whisky

First fill wine casks are generally active and can add significant personality to a whisky. In their wine cask series, the robust nature of the Wire Works lightly-peated house style is complimented by the selected wine casks, with each of the whiskies showcasing different aspects of complex fruits, spice and subtle smoke.

The wine casks are sourced directly from White Peak's long-term partners J. Dias & Ca. Dias originally coopered the barriques for their first use in the wine industry. This means the team know the provenance of the wood, the traditional manufacturing processes and have a personal connection with the people who craft them. The Dias cask DNA is a constant in the flavour journey of the 2024 Wire Works Wine Series.
