Discover the extraordinary with Belgrove Distillery’s Wholly Shit Rye Whiskey. This unique expression is a celebration of the 2nd Fill style of whisky, emphasizing the grain's characteristics and the Still’s impact while shedding light on Belgrove’s distinctive terroir. Crafted from 100% rye whisky, this expression showcases a notable spearmint aroma, resulting from the gumtrees surrounding the distillery. During hot weather, eucalyptus oil is released and condenses on the grains at night, enhancing their flavour and aroma.

Key Information and Highlights:

  • Distillery: Belgrove Distillery
  • Type: 100% Rye Whiskey
  • ABV: 60.3%
  • Volume: 500ml Bottle
  • Cask Maturation: Aged in a 50L ex-Oat Whisky cask, imparting creamy oat notes.
  • Grain Composition: 80% unmalted and whole rye grains, with 20% malted rye.

Production Process:

The 20% malted rye grain is uniquely smoked using dried sheep dung—an innovative method that not only adds depth of flavour but also exemplifies the distillery’s commitment to sustainability. Belgrove’s sheep graze on the spent grains from the distillery, their dung fertilizing the farm, and some of it is even utilized as fuel in the whisky-making process, showcasing the ultimate in recycling.

Flavour Profile:

  • Colour: Yellow Gold
  • Nose: The aroma unfolds with immediate notes of hazelnuts and gentle smoke, complemented by creamy porridge and the distinctive unmalted rye characteristics of black pepper and spearmint.
  • Palate: The first sip envelops your palate in a rich, creamy sweet smoke that gradually builds to a crescendo of flavours—smoke, nuttiness, earthiness, and an unmistakable hint of sheep! The mid-palate dances with notes of green tea, spearmint, and herbal spices, while the earthy smoke notes linger delightfully, creating a truly memorable experience that distinguishes this release from other expressions in the Wholly Shit series.

Conclusion:

Belgrove Distillery’s Wholly Shit Rye Whiskey is more than just a spirit; it is a bold expression of craftsmanship and a tribute to the surrounding terroir. This natural cask strength beauty offers an unmatched flavour profile that will captivate adventurous whisky lovers. Experience the remarkable journey of flavours and the story behind every sip.
