{"product_id":"circumstance-distillery-organic-single-grain-wheat-whisky","title":"Circumstance Distillery Organic Single Grain Wheat Whisky, 70cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost English whisky is made from malted barley. Circumstance Distillery in Bristol builds this one around wheat instead: a mash bill of 70% organic malted wheat and 30% organic malted barley, fermented for a full 14 days on a Bavarian wheat beer yeast. That long fermentation is where much of the character starts, giving the spirit a soft, bready sweetness before it reaches a cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was distilled through a copper whisky hood and a four-plate column, then matured for 44 months across three cask types. Ex-bourbon American oak brings vanilla and keeps the wheat's sweetness to the fore; new Andean oak adds a drier, spicier edge; and ex red vermouth casks, new to this release, sit behind the apricot that now joins the familiar bakery notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, expect freshly baked brioche and Madeira cake, then apricot, ginger and cracked black pepper, with a soft, rounded texture from the high wheat content. At 47.8% Alc., it works neat, and a drop of water is entirely optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe think this is the clearest example in the Circumstance range of how much the choice of grain and yeast changes a whisky. If you mostly drink single malts, it is well worth trying alongside one. Bottling 4:10:1:37:45, a release of around 400 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCircumstance Distillery is an organic whisky distillery in Bristol, run by Liam Hirt and 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 whisky makes a good case for that decision.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circumstance Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47305372434725,"sku":"CD-OSGWW_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-wheat-whisky-70cl-whisky-circumstance-distillery-digital-distiller-7899736.webp?v=1794611950","url":"https:\/\/www.digidistiller.com\/products\/circumstance-distillery-organic-single-grain-wheat-whisky","provider":"Digital Distiller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
