Our Spirits

Single Malt Whisky - DEW 001

DEW001 RELEASE DATE: 5 AUGUST 2024
Three twenty litre casks carefully selected, nurtured and matured over two years, representing traditional Scotch Whisky (Apera cask), Sam (Bourbon cask) and Chris (Pinot cask), have been married to create a unique First Release Single Malt Whisky for Drifters End Distilling Company. 

Each cask lends its influence across the palate creating a full sensory journey that is reminiscent of all Drifters End spirits. 

When first encountering this beautiful spirit on the nose, you will be led by a blast of pepper to heighten the senses, followed by the familiar vanilla flavours of crème caramel, and then wooded undertones of mulch and wine cellars, with a touch of red fruits. 

On your first sip, the palate is then blasted with zesty freshness and a smash of spice, which then morphs into fresh tobacco and coffee grounds and a hint of hazel nuts.  The subtleness of red fruits on the nose can be found at the back of the palate. 

As you imbibe, you are left with layers of fruit cake and bitter chocolate, subtleness of cigar box and a hint of pepper, leaving a lasting impression of whisky goodness. 

Bottled at 50% ABV, this whisky is bold and full-bodied, and will please the senses from first nose to a final lingering aftertaste. 

Colour: Tawny

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Rich deep flavour notes of sweet vanilla, creme-caramel, butterscotch and red wine currants
Palate: Complex and robust flavour layered notes of buttery vanilla, fruit, spice and oak. Honied ripe fruits give way to a rich viscous dark chocolate and toffee finish
Finish: A soft, luscious fruit cake and nutty finish with roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate
