Elsham Wold Flarepath Rum Cask Finish English Single Malt Whisky 47.4% 70cl
- Details
Only the 2nd ever release from the Elsham Wold Distillery, who are based just across the Humber Bridge from yours truly.
Starting up as a vodka producer using King Edward potatoes - as a result of the three families who operate the distillery being owners of a potato farming company - the team moved into whisky production as a way of widening their portfolio but also challenging their spirit making skills. It was evident care and attention was being taken at every stage of production and maturation, and the inaugural release in December 2023 featured a rich mouthfeel that was helped with a finish in PX Sherry casks, providing a flavour profile that belied it's young age.
This new release - finished in a rum cask filled with rum that the team themselves had produced - continues that silky, thick texture which I am hopeful will become a consistent feature of their output moving forward. The rum cask provides a tropical note and lighter tones which make this thoroughly enjoyable to drink - and which still gives the impression this is MUCH older than it actually is!
Only 215 bottles were produced in the outturn and I consider myself extremely lucky to have some on offer!
