Oxford Rye Whisky | 700ML

Detailed Description

Instead of being milled, the grain is flattened in a traditional mill from the 1920s, creating coarse flakes that are made into an ‘8,000l watery porridge’ and stirred ‘vigorously’ by oar, as is the Oxford tradition. Cold winter fermentation takes place in 5,000l Hungarian oak vats. The mash is then double distilled in the distillery’s custom-made stills, called Nautilus and Nemo. The spirit was then matured in two virgin American oak casks for more than three years.

Distillery Information

Here at The Oxford Artisan Distillery we want to support research into new ways of growing grain without agri-chemicals and that enhance biodiversity. The climate is changing, and the way most grain is grown today is not sustainable. And not by lucky coincidence but by design, organically farmed ancient heritage grains can be distilled into truly special spirits with the signature maltiness, caramel undertones and silky-smooth mouth feel that make our spirits what they are.
