West Midlands Distillery – The Matriarch Inaugural Release (70cl, 51.9%)

West Midlands Distillery – The Matriarch Inaugural Release is a whisky from West Midlands Distillery. Aged 3 years, bottled at 51.9% ABV, 70cl. Founded in 2017 by a family of distillers, first launching with Gin, Rum and Vodka and offering premium bespoke spirits, all in the pursuit of, one day, being able to produce their own Single Malt Whisky. Laying down Whisky casks since 2021, the family’s single barrel approach means that they are able to experiment with heritage grains, yeast strains, brewing techniques and cask selection, whilst still retaining the full bodied, fruit forward identifying character of the spirit. After nearly a decade in the making and 3 years maturing, the first ever Whisky made in the county of West Midlands has now arrived. The 5th line, The Matriarch (The Mother Bottling), is a special blend of all 4 inaugural casks.
