Wrecking Coast, Rye Whiskey Sherry-cask finish 8 Year Old
50.5% | 70.0cl
With only 600 bottles produced, this limited edition 8 year old Wrecking Coast Rye Whiskey is an exclusive experience not to be missed. Wrecking Coast has crafted an exquisitely balanced, nuanced rye that both whisky aficionados and novice drinkers will appreciate. Be one of the few to get your hands on a bottle before it’s gone for good!
This exceptional Wrecking Coast Rye Whiskey starts with the finest organic rye sourced from local farms along the rugged Cornish coastline. The rye is then double distilled in small batches using Wrecking Coast’s signature copper pot stills to produce a smooth, richly flavoured spirit. After 8 patient years mellowing in American oak casks, the whisky finishes its journey in premium Oloroso sherry casks from Spain.
Tasting Note
Salty butter and jammy brambles on the nose, with hints of lightly toasted rye bread, floral honey and herbal rye spice — cinnamon, tarragon and a wisp of spearmint. Juicy blackberries and blackcurrants burst on the palate, with anise deepening into rich liquorice and a touch of cooling mint chocolate. Bittersweet treacle toffee and liquorice fade slowly on the finish, leaving herbal, leafy traces.

Perfect Serve Nailed!
To allow the complex flavours to shine, Wrecking Coast Rye Whiskey is best served neat or with a touch of water to open up the flavours and aromas. However, for a refined cocktail highlighting the whisky’s sherry cask finish, try the Coast Fashioned:
50ml Wrecking Coast Rye Whiskey
15ml Pedro Ximenez sherry
2 dashes angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Garnish with an orange twist.
The Pedro Ximenez sherry complements the whisky’s richness, while angostura and orange bitters lend depth and bitterness. The large ice cube gradually dilutes the cocktail, allowing the flavours to evolve in the glass. Savour this elegant cocktail that pays homage to the exceptional sherry cask-finished rye whisky within.
