White Peak Distillery is Derbyshire's first full-scale craft distillery, making award-winning Wire Works Whisky, Shining Cliff Gin and rum with a proud focus on unique Derbyshire provenance and heritage. Founded in 2016, we're still close to the beginning of our whisky journey. The first Wire Works Whisky was launched in February 2022 and been humbled by the response and excited for the future. Looking at every strand of the whisky making process in pursuit of flavour. To create Wire Works Whisky, they use local brewer's yeast, combined with an uncommonly long fermentation for a distinctive new make spirit with character before it goes into a cask. A small, dedicated team is at the heart of the Distillery. They craft whisky, gins and rum with care, and they mature, bottle and label them on site. Every member of the team is passionate about what they do - making spirits the proper way, with honesty and endeavour.

Ex-bourbon barrels are considered a relatively ‘inactive' cask type and so shine a light on the distillery's unique proud spirit character. All Wire Works Whisky is distilled and matured on site. A unique environment and a full life-cycle of Derbyshire provenance. Bourbon Barrel is the second member of the Provenance Core Range. Each release embodies their philosophy - a flavour-before-cask approach to whisky-making, rooted in a deep respect for Derbyshire's industrial heritage and legacy of innovation. Every drop is made with a commitment to full life-cycle provenance at the Wire Works, with mashing, fermentation, distillation and maturation all carried out onsite.
