Description

The Spirit of Birmingham Inaugural Release is the first whiskey from Birmingham's first distillery, founded in 2020. This Single Pot Still Whiskey is crafted using a signature mash-bill of traditionally floor malted heritage grains, including malted Maris Otter barley, un-malted flaked barley, malted oats, malted rye, and chocolate malt. It was aged in a combination of first-fill ex-Buffalo Trace bourbon and virgin Staffordshire oak casks. Bottled in June 2025 at 48% ABV, this limited edition release consists of 900 bottles and is non-chill filtered.
