White Peak Distillery

In mid-2016 they had no premises, no partners or staff, no permits or consents, nowhere near enough funding and no track record in the drinks & spirits industry. But Max Vaughan had a dream that he’d been carrying for years, of making whisky and other spirits in Derbyshire. He was fortunate to find some investors who liked his ideas, he met two great distillers and he found the perfect premises. He decided Ihed reached my now. White Peak Distillery is Derbyshire’s first full-scale craft distillery, making award-winning Wire Works Whisky, Shining Cliff Gin and rum with a proud focus on their unique Derbyshire provenance and heritage.

Orchard fruit, banana and candy cane on the nose, with citrus zest, vanilla, cereal and honey on the palate, and a warm, spicy finish with rich mouthfeel and a wisp of smoke.

Best served neat or with a drop of water.
