‘Alter Ego’ is an example of how we are exploring and developing different approaches during our whisky making to reveal new personality in our spirit. A mix of whiskies aged in barrels that have previously held bourbon and sherry, Uigeadail is bottled at cask strength, a hefty 54.2 alcohol. These Peaty Scotches Taste Like Campfire in a Glass Best Overall: BenRiach The Smoky Ten at Drizly Best Age Statement: Oban 14 at Drizly Best Heavily Peated. Max Vaughan, founder of Derbyshire-based White Peak Distillery, said: “We’re always keen to showcase the innovation and creativity we ourselves enjoy. Ardbeg's Uigeadail (pronounced 'OO-ga-dahl,' 75 for 750 mL) is the exception to the rule. But what exactly is a Vatted Malt It is what the Scotch Whisky. A mix of whiskies aged in barrels that have previously held bourbon and sherry, Uigeadail is bottled at cask strength, a hefty 54.2 alcohol. A small batch bottling traditionally unchill filtered containing only islay malt whiskeys. The single malt has been distilled with alternate cut points to previous Wire Works whiskies, resulting in more fruit and different elements of peat notes.įurthermore, the casks used for vatting rely more on ex-Bourbon than in previous releases, bringing ‘emphasis to the fruit notes’ and a ‘bolder range of vanilla’. Ardbegs Uigeadail (pronounced 'OO-ga-dahl,' 75 for 750 mL) is the exception to the rule. Islay whisky is known for having some of the strongest flavoured malt whiskies in the world, such as Bruichladdichs Octomore being the peatiest whisky in. But if you like bonfires on beaches and tarmac on kittens, this is a good one to try. Still, getting out into the rough is a great way to understand how and why peat is used in Islay whisky, for which it is an essential and defining ingredient. Un-chill filtered and bottled at 46 abv, this is very peaty, as you might expect, though not in the realms of the really big hitters like Ardbeg's Supernova. The new Wire Works Alter Ego has ‘rich fruit flavours’ and is bottled at 51.5% ABV. A beast of a whisky indeed, although it's not without its beauty. White Peak said Alter Ego is an “approachable, fruit-forward” whisky
English spirits producer White Peak Distillery has created Alter Ego as an ‘alternative flavour’ expression to its flagship Wire Works whisky.
