Wire Works Bourbon Barrel Winner of ‘Best World Whisky’ Online Scotch Whisky Awards 2025
Winner of IWSC gold 2025, judges comments:
“Enticing, dense aromas of digestive biscuits and wood shavings blend with icing sugar. The palate offers a rich sweetness balanced by gentle peat and fruit notes, leading to a long, spicy finish of fruitcake and faint bonfire smoke.”
Pure, unadulterated Wire Works Whisky, Bourbon Barrel is a vatting of lightly-peated single malt, matured exclusively in premium ex-bourbon barrels. Ex-bourbon barrels are considered a relatively ‘inactive’ cask type and so shine a light on our distillery’s unique spirit character of which we’re proud.
Bourbon Barrel is the second member of the Provenance Core Range. Each release embodies our philosophy — a flavour-before-cask approach to whisky-making, rooted in a deep respect for Derbyshire’s industrial heritage and legacy of innovation. Every drop is made with a commitment to full life-cycle provenance at the Wire Works, with mashing, fermentation, distillation and maturation all carried out onsite.
Winner of ‘Best World Whisky’ Online Scotch Whisky Awards 2025, Winner of the ‘Best Single Malt English Whisky’ in the English Whisky Awards 2024, and voted Peoples Choice in the Online Scotch Whisky Awards (OSWA’s 2024) Best World Whisky category.
