The Spirit
At the heart of the spirits produced by the Oxford distillery is the seed. The seed that grows the grain that is distilled into whisky. This isn't any bulk-bought seed. This is painstakingly researched heritage grains, once used in medieval times. They adapt to their local surroundings to produce unique flavours, as well as plenty of biodiversity above and below the soil. The archaeobotanist who discovered them was John Letts. Founders of the distillery met John at a farmers market and thanks to a chance chat, the venture began. Oxford Rye 2018 vintage is a blend of spirits from a field blend of rye and wheat, plus 10% malted barley, all aged in American oak casks and wine barrels. Citrusy, herbal and bready – a very well-balanced whisky.
