The Oxford Artisan Whisky 3 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
The Oxford Artisan Distillery
Tasting Notes
That Boutique-y Whisky Company has captured a true gem with The Oxford Artisan Whisky 3 Year Old. This whisky is a testament to the distillery's innovative spirit, crafted from a unique blend of ancient heritage grains – corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. The nose welcomes you with the comforting aroma of apple turnovers and oily malt, followed by a familiar peppery rye spiciness. On the palate, it offers a delightful symphony of flavors, including sourdough bread, biscotto, lemon balm, thyme, and honeyed sultanas. The finish is buttery and smooth, with a subtle herbal edge that lingers pleasantly. What makes this whisky truly remarkable is that it comes from the very first cask ever filled by the Oxford Artisan Distillery, making it a piece of history in a bottle. To add to its uniqueness, it underwent a finishing period in a Sauternes cask, imparting a bright, fruity sweetness that perfectly complements the whisky's character.
