TBWC English Rye 8YO 700mL

Bold, spicy, and unmistakably modern, the English Rye 8 Year Old from That Boutique-y Whisky Company showcases the rising sophistication of England’s craft distilling movement. Aged for nearly a decade, this rye whisky delivers the fiery character of its grain with finesse and structure, proving that English rye can stand tall on the world stage. On the nose, it’s vibrant and aromatic — cracked black pepper, caraway seed, and toasted rye bread meet subtle notes of cherry wood, clove oil, and a hint of orange marmalade. There's an underlying sweetness reminiscent of maple syrup and vanilla pods, creating a complex contrast.The palate is punchy yet refined. Waves of baking spice, liquorice root, and ginger snap cookies dance with flavours of burnt sugar, bitter orange, and dark rye crust. The mouthfeel is oily and rich, offering excellent weight and chew, while a flash of herbaceous rye tang keeps things bright and energetic. The finish is long and warming, with persistent rye spice, charred oak, and a touch of eucalyptus. It’s a dram that commands attention — assertive, distinctive, and wonderfully English in its approach.
