Wire Works Heritage Chevallier

Wire Works Heritage Chevallier is the very first non-peated single malt release from White Peak Distillery. Chevalier is a heritage barley variety that was dominant in England from the 1820’s to 1920’s.
Superceeded in the modern pursuit of yield, Chevallier has a unique flavour profile that we wanted to explore in our early years of distilling; robust maltiness with a rich marmalade character. The initial new
make was amazing and after years in ex-bourbon barrels we’re excited to offer one of the first, contemporary era whiskies made from Chevallier malt.
