White Peak Distillery was founded in 2016 and is located in Ambergate, Derbyshire. The brainchild of Max and Claire Vaughan, it is Derbyshire’s first full-scale craft distillery, with a
proud focus on the unique Derbyshire provenance and heritage. The building itself was an old wire works and is now part of a UNESCO world heritage site. They released their first single malt whisky in 2022. In addition to this, they produce Shining Cliff gin, a cask-aged rum, and the 1876 Single Malt Cocktail, all of which they mature, bottle, and label on site. As our closest distillery, we are proud to have been a supporter of White Peak since they were first established.
Wire Works Caduro matures in a combination of first-fill ex-Bourbon and STR casks, showcasing a high proportion of American Oak and some French Oak. Transitioning from its maturation details, it emerges as a complex, approachable single malt in their lightly peated core house style.
100% natural colour and non-chilfilltered.
