Wire Works Madeira Finish Single Malt Whisky, 53.6%

Madeira wine originates from the Portuguese island of Madeira, crafted from a mix of grape varieties such as Malvasia, Tinta Negra Mole, and Sercial. Following its initial fermentation in oak casks, the wine undergoes a unique aging process known as ‘estufagem.’ This method exposes the wine to alternating hot and cold temperatures, simulating the conditions of extended sea voyages in tropical climates, which speeds up the wine’s maturation and flavour development. This results in a sweet and nutty fortified wine, displaying notes of citrus and dried fruits.
