Burnt Faith, the pioneering brandy distillery nestled in Walthamstow, North East London is shaking things up yet again with the launch of its Bourbon Cask Brandy. This exclusive, limited-edition release kicks off the ‘Cask Series,’ – a collection set to redefine what brandy making is all about.
Taking the brandy world by storm, Burnt Faith proudly claims the title of the first brandy house to distil in Britain in over 200 years. Inside the distillery lies a repurposed Charentais pot still that is meticulously designed for the art of distilling, showcasing their unwavering commitment to the craft of brandy-making.
Following the success of their first expression, Burnt Faith Batch One, this Bourbon Cask Brandy blends tradition with daring invention. Made using four different grape varieties – Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat Blanc – it is then matured for three years in bourbon barrels from the esteemed Heaven Hill distillery to finish – London spirit meets Kentucky smoke.
Burnt Faith is celebrating the release with an epic Bourbon brandy BBQ in collaboration with chef and BBQ expert, Neil Rankin, and Hackney’s sustainable smokehouse, From The Ashes. Mark your calendars for Friday 12th April, when brandy and bourbon fans can unite at Burnt Faith Brandy House for an evening filled with drinks, entertainment and education. Guests can indulge in mouthwatering dishes from renowned BBQ chefs and dive into bourbon brandy masterclasses hosted by Burnt Faith’s master distiller, Oliver Kitson and friends at Heaven Hill distillery. It’ll be a lively night in the Brandy House with music from Sean Innit, formally of Midnight Riot & Love Vinyl. See Burntfaith.com for more details on how to join the fun.
Simon Wright, the brainchild behind Burnt Faith, sums up their bold approach: “We’re turning tradition on its head. As a category, brandy needs to move forward, the only way it can do this is appealing to the innovation and adventure that drinkers expect. The Cask Series has been a very natural extension to the brand, visitors to the brandy house have always commented so highly on the results of these individual casks, so we know the demand for exploration is there. This bourbon cask is just the beginning of where this series will go but we’ve shown our intent from day one – big bold smoky flavours, bourbon and whiskey fans are going to love it”.
