Oxford Artisan 2019 Pioneer Collection English Rye Whisky (54.5%)

This English rye whisky from Oxford Artisan Distillery is part of the Pioneer Collection by Berry Bros. & Rudd, a series whose spirits are made climate-neutrally at the distilleries where they are produced. It is bottled at 54.5% from a second-fill cask. The distillery grows its grain using regenerative farming, reviving old grain populations so that each field's crop is distinct. The nose offers white chocolate, Danish rye bread and dark chocolate. On the palate, fuller rye notes sit alongside citrusy Japanese Miyagawa notes, poppy seed and spice.
