East London Chardonnay Rye Single Cask Whisky 70cl

A Botanical Revolution: The Elegant Fusion of Saison Yeast and Chardonnay Oak

Experience a "vibrant" and "sophisticated" departure from traditional rye with the East London Chardonnay Rye Single Cask. This is not your average spicy rye; it is a "modern masterpiece" engineered by the team at Bow Wharf using a high-precision mash bill of 55% Norfolk rye and 45% Maris Otter barley.

What truly sets this spirit apart is its fermentation with Saison yeast, which imparts a "lively" and "ester-forward" character before the spirit even touches the wood. Matured for four years in a second-fill Chardonnay cask, the result is a "spectacularly balanced" dram that feels like a "personalized oasis" of flavor—blending the "bold statement" of rye with the delicate, buttery fruitiness of world-class white wine.

The Craft of the Single Cask: Yeast, Grain & Wine

The East London Chardonnay Rye is "built to impress," utilizing innovative techniques to "elevate your drinking experience":

• 
  

  The Saison Fermentation: The use of Saison yeast is a "vibrant" choice, introducing unique "floral sweetness" and "birch sap" notes that you won't find in standard whiskies.

  
  


• 
  

  Second-Fill Chardonnay Casks: Four years in white wine oak "transforms" the spirit, adding "peach compote" and "freshly cut grass" while allowing the "Norfolk rye" to remain "expressive."

  
  


• 
  

  Single Cask Exclusivity: As a single cask release, every bottle offers "unwavering commitment to flavor" and a "unique personality" that cannot be replicated.

  
  


• 
  

  Maris Otter Barley: The inclusion of this premium malted barley provides the "perfect foundation," adding a "rich and thick" cereal sweetness to balance the rye spice.
