Wire Works Port Cask Single Malt Whisky, 70cl

Wire Works Whisky Port Cask whisky  is a core lightly-peated house style single malt spirit, aged in both fresh Tawny Port barriques, and first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a complex whisky with a rich oily texture and a bold, vibrant fruit profile both from the single malt spirit and the port oak. Bottled at 50.2% Alc.
