The earlier bottling was matured in a single ex-tawny port cask; this one spent 50 months in a combination of new European oak, ex-bourbon and new Andean oak. With no wine cask in the mix, this release is about the rye and the oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipe is the same: 51% organic malted rye and 49% organic malted barley, fermented for 14 days on a mead yeast and distilled through a copper whisky hood and a four-plate column. Rye at this proportion typically brings peppery spice and a drier, grainier edge than barley alone, and the long fermentation on a brewing yeast is typical of how Circumstance build flavour before the spirit reaches a cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three casks each play a part. New European oak typically adds spice and firm structure; ex-bourbon brings vanilla and softer sweetness; and new Andean oak, an uncommon choice in whisky, adds a drier, spicier wood character. At 47,9% Alc., it works neat, and a drop of water is entirely optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe think rye is where English distillers are doing some of their most interesting work, and this is a good example of why. Bottling 3:11:1:36:50.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCircumstance Distillery is an organic whisky distillery in Bristol, run by Liam Hirt\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eand Head Distiller Andrew Osborne.. Their approach puts flavour first: multi-grain mash bills, brewing yeasts and long fermentations, with the casks adding the final layer. They choose not to make single malts, and this rye shows what that freedom allows.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circumstance Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54562220409217,"sku":"CD-OSGRW_70","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/3896\/2981\/files\/circumstance-distillery-organic-single-grain-rye-whisky-70cl-whisky-circumstance-distillery-digital-distiller-6161870.webp?v=1794611229","url":"https:\/\/www.digidistiller.com\/products\/circumstance-distillery-organic-single-grain-rye-whisky","provider":"Digital Distiller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
