- Description
- West Midlands Distillery's inaugural bourbon quarter cask was re-fired after re-coopering to concentrate oak influence, made with Plumage Archer barley and Kveik Hornindal yeast for bold character. Expect toasted oak and spice in the foreground, with distant smoke adding intrigue to the palate. The quarter cask treatment intensifies vanilla and caramel notes while keeping the spirit vibrant. This dram suits those who appreciate oak-forward, spicy English single malts with experimental production credentials.
