Brave New Spirits Tweet Tasting

Continuing our teeming throng of industry leading Tweet Tastings (the original series of virtual tastings), we’re thrilled to announce that on August 21st, we’ll be teaming up again with our very good friends at Brave New Spirits, for another epic evening of indie bottle fuelled Tweet Tasting dramfotainment.

Since launching in 2020, the Glasgow based Brave New Spirits have taken the whisky world by storm with their multi-award-winning and internationally renowned Voodoo, Cask Noir, Yellow Edition and Whiskyheroes brands. Adding to the momentum, last year they also announced the very exciting news of their plans to build a distillery in Campbeltown – the building of which is now underway and the new Witchburn Distillery is due to start production later this year.

As per our previous Brave New Spirits events, on the night we’ll be pouring and exploring some stunning sensory stories from across their portfolio, so if you fancy taking part in what promises to be an epic (in every sense of the word) evening of tweet tastery click here to register by emailing your name, Twitter handle, postal address, phone number and date of birth. Please also remember to mark the subject line of your email: #BraveNewSpirits

The closing date to register is July 29th, and if you are registering to take part, please make sure that you will actually be free on the evening of August 21st to take part!

Even if you're not one of the selected Tweet Tasters, it'd be great to have you following all the evening’s dramfotainment. So we very much look forward to seeing you over on Twitter / X on August 21st from 19:00 BST via #BraveNewSpirits

Quick Fire Whisky Tasting Notes

White Peak Distillery

Wire Works Whisky - Bourbon Barrel

Single Malt English Whisky 

53.4% ABV / RRP: £65.00

Nose: A fruit led frenzy of apple turnovers, pink grapefruit, grilled peaches, lemon sherbets, foam bananas and a bag of Starburst kick off the nasal niceties. Followed by notes of vanilla cheesecake, Caramac, malted milk biscuits, buttered popcorn, smashed avocado on granary toast, candied ginger and gentle wisps of smoke.

Palate: A moreish mouthful of M&S lemon curd iced buns, Kellogg’s Crunchy nut cornflakes and chocolate hobnobs kick off the palatable pleasures, along with aniseed twists, pink grapefruit, spiced baked apples and toasted almonds. The palatable pleasures continue in abundance with vanilla fudge, coconut ice, burnt caramel, chili infused honey, stem ginger in syrup, ground black pepper, five spice, eucalyptus and peat smoke.

Finish: A gloriously gutsy finish that provides the perfect highlights package of a dram that has an amazing sensory story to tell!

Summary: When it comes to craft whisky distilling in England, White Peak Distillery ticks all the right boxes with regards to its craft credentials, authenticity, ethos, innovation and of course its liquid. To date, each and every release from this trailblazing Derbyshire based distillery has well and truly knocked it out of the park in my opinion. This latest bottling is now not only a contender for my favourite Wire Works release to date, but it’s also one of the best Bourbon matured single malts (from anywhere) that I’ve sampled so far this year!
