This latest release which follows on from their Bankhall Rye Rebellion and Sweet Mash, is said to deliver notes including orange marmalade, vanilla bean, cinnamon, marzipan and toasted oak.
Bankhall Distillery was established in 2019, is headed up by
Vince Oleson, previously from the Widow Jane Distillery in Brooklyn. The team
at Bankhall have re-imagined the traditional whisky process in the UK, drawing
inspiration and ingenuity from the US.
Commenting on the launch, Vince Oleson, Master Distiller at
Bankhall, said: “Bankhall is honoured and proud to finally have a Single Malt
Whisky. This three-year-old English Single Malt Whisky was the first spirit to
flow through our budding distillery back in April of 2020. It’s an expression
that’s bold from the punch of the barrel and balanced from our elegant triple
pot distilled creamy new make, and we’re extremely happy with the result. With
just 235 bottles of this limited release launching into the market, we don’t
anticipate it’ll be around for long, but it certainly marks the beginning of a
massively exciting new stage of the journey for our Bankhall English whisky”.
Limited to 235 bottles, Bankhall Single Malt will be
available later this month directly from the distillery and specialist retailers,
for a RRP of £100.00.
