Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Release 12

This item is archived.

This is a peated single malt from Yukon Brewing & Distilling's Two Brewers range.

Producer Description: "Significant Munich malt mash used to build the body behind the peat. 60% liquid saw new wood. Bairds heavily peated malt is what we use, the specs give 25-50 ppm phenols.  Any peat added to a blend is from our 100% peat stock; releases 3, 7 & 12 are 24%, 37% & 57% respectively. Rel.12 has a much fuller base malt, so the peat perception still doesn't come across strongly, but definitely builds on the palate. Not certain how much phenol losses are in the distillations, but also a consideration is losses in the barrel; much like yeast apparently, the barrel sucks up some of that concentration."

Producer Tasting Note

An unhurried most presents a complex peated medley, medicinal and smudgey, backed by the weighty base malt. A gentle , sweet and clean entry preludes a mid-palate burst of character. Caramel covered stone fruit in a swirl of smoky carbon, balanced, long and lingering.
