2024 Fireside Chapter Release - Ex Oloroso cask finished in ex peated cask
£95.00

The 2024 Fireside Chapter expression is a cask strength English Whisky Single Malt ex Oloroso cask which has been finished in a peated cask so there is a delicious sweetness overlaid by a glorious smoky finish.

Our Fireside Chapter Edition is a single cask release of which there are only 261 bottles available.  

There are two options for this product -

A single bottle in a branded box which is £95

or

A large presentation box the same as the First Release Whisky which has the bottle of Fireside Chapter whisky, 2 x Glencairn glasses and has been signed for all 3 distillers which is £135 (a real collectors piece).

The concept behind the Fireside Chapter Release is that it will be an annual offering.  Over the next 5 years we will release one every Autumn to create The Whittaker's Fireside Chapter Collection.

Tasting Notes

Aroma - Hazelnut, figs, dates, oloroso, candied almonds, clove, molasses.

Palate - bonfire heat, cinder toffee, black treacle, clove, cinnamon, bark.

Conclusion - Full bodied, powerful and full of the flavours of autumn and winter. The sweet elements balanced by salinity and notes of cedar and burning embers. Not peaty but still with a gentle charred feel undoubtably an expression of the cask. The most crowd-pleasing release yet but also full of intrigue for a more seasoned whisky enthusiast. No confection, just natural, “pastry chef” precision. Joyful, complete and tasting beyond its years with a texture akin to a more mature bottling.

Blood sweat and tears

We take great care to ensure all the ingredients which go to create our whisky, are carefully selected. The water is from the spring on our farm and the barley is grown at the end of the river Nidd on another family farm, Poplars Farm, Ferrensby owned by Andrew and Ione Cumming (née Whittaker).

When we say blood, sweat and tears, we mean it.  Every drop of our Whisky has what I like to call soul and represents what we stand for – Excellence!
