Description

Iron Ridge English single malt whisky is brought to you by long-time television mainstay Richard Hammond. His venture into whisky is named after the hillside ridge visible from his home in the Lake District and was crafted in collaboration with Hawkridge Distillers. Matured in American bourbon casks and finished in rare sherry and red wine casks, it offers a smooth, full-bodied character with rich notes of vanilla, caramel, warming spice, and a touch of fruit.

Hammonds’ English single malt brings raisin, baked banana and treacle together with gentle smoke. That sweet-and-smoky balance gives the Bourbon, Sherry and Red Wine Cask release a distinct character without losing its malt sweetness.

There’s a lovely sweet-and-smoky balance here: raisin, baked banana, and treacle bring plenty of depth, while the gentle smoke stays integrated rather than taking over. Vanilla and rich malt sweetness round out the palate, and the dried fruit, dark sugar, and spice carry through the long, warming finish. It sounds layered, but the familiar sweet notes keep the character approachable. A warmly appealing single malt with enough contrast to hold interest.
