58.4% ABV

500 ml

 This is the original Belgrove Oat Whisky comprising oats grown, mashed, brewed and distilled all at Belgrove Distillery personally by Peter Bignell. And as if that were not enough, Peter has individually signed each label. Bottled on 1 September 2014

But let’s hear what Peter himself had to say about his unique creation: " I also grow oats and did an experiment to see if using oat husks would speed up lautering (separation of mash and liquid), as rye mash is extremely slow. I did a mash with about 65% oats with the remainder being equal amounts of rye, barley and wheat (I grow 4 types of grain). The husks on the oats did hasten the lautering. That was the end of the main part of the experiment. I did a couple of small mashes, then fermented and double distilled enough to make a 50 litre barrel. A small tour group spotted the cask just after its regulation 2 years had elapsed and asked if they could have a taste. WOW. I left it another 6 months then bottled it straight from the cask. I have made another barrel of Oat Whisky and plan to make some more very soon, but that also is at least 3 years away before it matures."

Tasting Notes

Pale straw in colour, the nose is reminiscent of porridge and is a little sweeter than the rye whisky with evident nose prickle from the higher ABV. Dry spice and cereal/oat flavour dominate the palate with a medium and warming finish. This small batch whisky is unlike any other. It opens up in the glass and gradually grows on you.
