  Item no.: 2222388-7445

  2020. A good year for rye in Thy. The Whisky Trail chose to bottle it and put a year on it. Here is the result – a vintage rye whisky from one of Denmark's most locally rooted distilleries.

  Expert description

  The Whisky Trail Thy Whisky 2020 Vintage is a Danish Rye Whisky bottled at 50.5% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled in 2020 from certified organic rye at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland and bottled by The Whisky Trail – a respected bottler focused on exceptional distillate releases from Scandinavian and European distilleries. The 2020 vintage stamp places this as a specific harvest from that year.

  Bottling with a year gives the whisky a traceability and identity anchor that anonymous releases lack. The rye from 2020 is now a whisky that speaks from a specific place and a specific time in Thy Whisky's history.

  Did you know?

  Vintage dating on whisky gives the buyer knowledge of when the grain was harvested and distilled. For single estate distilleries like Thy Whisky, which grow their own grain, this is particularly meaningful – the character of the crop varies year by year depending on weather and growing conditions.

  Westland produces its whisky in Seattle’s warehouse district, SoDo, but matures it in Skagit Valley, surrounded by the magnificent Pacific Northwest landscape. The distillery has specialized in American Single Malt, which today is officially recognized as a separate category.

  Maturation: 1st fill bourbon casks and 2nd fill American whiskey casks
  ABV: 56.5%
  Small batch: 4 casks
  Number of bottles: 817 – a limited release with clear collector appeal.

  The whisky combines the intensity of bourbon casks with layers of vanilla, caramel, and spiced oak. The 2nd fill American whiskey casks add depth and complexity, while the distillery’s malt character provides a rich, full-bodied base with notes of dark fruit and chocolate. The high strength of 56.5% emphasizes both power and elegance, making it well-suited for enthusiasts seeking intensity and depth.

  With only 817 bottles, this is an exclusive release that showcases Westland’s ability to craft whiskies with both American identity and international quality. It is an ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts who want to explore the growing category of American Single Malt. Listen to our Podcast about Elixir Distillers.

  The Whisky Trail White Peak Distillery 2018 Vintage Single Malt English Whisky 70 cl 52,4%

  Item no.: 2222388-7447

  In an old wireworks beside the River Derwent, surrounded by Derbyshire's UNESCO-listed industrial heritage, White Peak Distillery brews and distils a malt that borrows as much from brewing craft as from whisky tradition. This bottling was selected by Sukhinder Singh for Elixir Distillers' series The Whisky Trail and shows the distillery's style as it stood in its early years.

  Expert's Description

  The Whisky Trail White Peak Distillery 2018 Vintage is a Single Malt English Whisky matured in first fill bourbon casks and bottled at 52.4%.

  White Peak Distillery was founded in 2016 by husband and wife Max and Claire Vaughan in the former Johnson & Nephew wireworks in Ambergate, within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The distillery ferments with both brewer's yeast from local brewer Thornbridge and traditional distiller's yeast, and part of the mash is made from lightly peated malt, giving the spirit a discreet smoky undertone beneath its fresh, fruity core. This bottling was distilled in 2018, bottled in 2025 from a small batch of four first fill bourbon casks, and is limited to 1,254 bottles.

  The Whisky Trail is part of Elixir Trails, where Sukhinder Singh — co-founder of Elixir Distillers and one of the whisky world's most respected bottlers — selects single distilleries for their craft and character rather than name or hype.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers vanilla and soft caramel from the bourbon cask, backed by a faint smoky undertone and fresh apples.

  Palate

  The palate is fruity with ripe pear and citrus peel, while a soft malty sweetness and a hint of smoke add depth without taking over.

  Finish

  The finish is medium in length and spiced, with a final trace of wood smoke and vanilla powder.
