Fielden Hazybower Rye Whisky, 70cl

This is the second release in the Fieldnotes collection: a celebration of the herbs and wildflowers that grow wild and glorious amongst the grains. It’s fresh and floral, with delicate blossom notes and a creamy and citrus-bright finish.

Hazybower was produced near Oxford from a combination of heritage varieties of rye, wheat and barley. The grains were grown as diverse field mixtures, including fields of traditional maslin - where rye and wheat are grown together. The resulting spirit was fermented and distilled with grain in a pot and column still, before it was matured in used American oak and an old Hungarian oak Tokaji wine cask.

A limited release of 1,000 individually numbered bottles.

Nose: Fresh citrus and blossom with custard and freshly baked scones. Herbaceous notes with hints of green banana and pineapple
Palate: Lemon tart, cream and nuts with hints of honey and sorrel
Finish: Fresh peppercorn and ginger with a refreshing spiced finish

Fielden takes a regenerative and sustainable approach to growing the grain that goes into their whiskies. This means using heritage grains, grown in clover, and without chemicals. It’s a more sustainable way of farming that’s better for the soil, the grain and the wildlife. And it makes a whisky full of flavour!
