Fielden Harvest 2019 Rye Whisky https://astonsofmanchester.co.uk/product/fielden-harvest-2019-rye-whisky/ Thu, 15 Aug 2024 15:11:56 +0000 https://astonsofmanchester.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=12621 Fielden Harvest 2019 Rye English Whisky (70cl / 48%) What makes a Fielden whisky? The heritage grains. Harvest 2019 is a celebration of the grains we gathered that year. Unlike other whiskies, where the vintage tells you when the whisky went into the cask (with grain from any year), Fielden’s vintage means the whisky is made from the same grain harvest. Mild weather and summer rain meant the rye we harvested in 2019 was brighter and more delicate than previous years. It makes a whisky that tastes of early summer: fresh, floral and full of flavour.   Tasting Notes Aroma: Roses and herbs with fresh ginger, apricot and a little butter. Taste: Refreshing herbs and delicate summer fruits, soft pastries: brioche bun, cream and warming apple crumble. Finish: A pinch of white pepper and fresh thyme.]]> Fielden Harvest 2019 Rye English Whisky (70cl / 48%)

The heritage grains. Working with heritage grains, grown for flavour not yield, our whiskies are distinctly delicious. Fielden's grains grow deeper roots and take in more nutrients from the soil, so they're full of flavour. It means we're putting the best (completely natural) ingredients into our stills. The grains we grow and the land we grow them on make a difference to our whisky, to farming and to our planet.   Tasting Notes Aroma: Flowers and fruit, like the wild berries that grow in our hedgerows. Taste: Flaky pastry with caramel and hazelnut, and freshly baked bread. Finish: The freshness of the grain and minty, peppercorn spice.]]> Fielden Rye English Whisky (70cl / 48%)
