White Peak Distillery, founded in 2016 in the Peak District, England, is known for its artisanal English whisky, including the distinctive "Wire Works". This relatively new yet highly respected distillery prioritise sustainability and quality and have fast become a notable player in the English whisky and craft spirits scene. The Wire Work's bottles are inspired by an unspooling bit of wire, a reference to the face that the distillery is based in an old wire factory. 

First fill wine casks are generally active and can add significant personality to a whisky. The robust nature of the Wire Works lightly-peated house style is complimented by the selected wine casks, with each of the whiskies showcasing different aspects of complex fruits, spice and subtle smoke. The wine casks are sourced directly from our long-term partners J. Dias & Ca. Dias originally coopered the barriques for their first use in the wine industry; we know the provenance of the wood, the traditional manufacturing processes and have a personal connection with the people who craft them. The Dias cask DNA is a constant in the flavour journey of the 2024 Wire Works Wine Series.
