Fielden Rye Whiskey

THE REVIEW

Upon discovering heritage grains in old English thatched roofs, Fielden used the clover system to help farmers bring their fields back to life. Clover works as a natural fertiliser and is planted underneath the grain crops to help assist with a more natural farming process, with no nasty chemical being involved. Their focus on heritage grains involves rye, wheat, and barley.

Eight different mashbills are available at the distillery, which will aim to be a fully automated location in Yorkshire and aim to have 12,000 maturing casks by 2030. Matured in new American oak, used American oak. Sauternes wine casks, moscato wine casks, and Madeira wine casks.

The distillate is produced through pot and column stills, as well as shell and worm tub condensers, with a minimum maturation time of 42 months/3.5 years and a marrying peridot of 93 days.
