This single grain whisky was created from malted barley (85%) and unmalted barley (15%) that was processed by hand at Warminster Maltings. The grains were fermented on a French saison yeast for an extraordinary 14 days. It was distilled in an 1800L hybrid still with a copper whisky hood and copper 4 plate column.
Circumstance English Whisky is said to deliver
notes of scrumpy cider, lemon zest and milk chocolate on the nose. Followed by
notes of hay like sweetness, cream soda and spice on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Danny Walker, Co-Founder of Circumstance
Distillery, said: “There is a lot more to whisky than single malts. Creating a
mash bill that contains more than just malted barley requires some real skill –
which our team have an abundance of. This inaugural whisky release is an
important milestone, but our journey continues. A single grain rye whisky and a
single grain wheat whisky should be ready for release in near future. Watch
this space.”
Limited to just 500 bottles, Circumstance English Whisky is
now available directly from the distillery for a RRP of £60.00.
