Oxford Rye Whisky 2018 Harvest is here! Our latest celebration of heritage grain is a recipe of 90% Maslin (rye and wheat grown together) and 10% malted barley. This whisky is double-distilled in both pot and column stills and laid down in American oak casks and a selection of ex-wine casks. The flavour of the heritage grain shines through: a buttery-pastry character with notes of fruit, spice and nut; whilst chocolate and spices pair with herbal and savoury notes leading to a toasted finish. It’s delicious, but don’t just take our word for it…
How does it compare with the 2017 Harvest? Well with the warmer and drier Spring and Summer seasons in 2018, yields were slightly lower. Harvest started earlier and the ripening season was shorter, delivering more of a herbal character to the whisky.
