“… Another promising sign that the distillery are onto something, and the Bordeaux influence seems to work well with their distillery character.”

The Guardian: Get in the Christmas spirits
“While we’re on the subject of whisky, who knew you could buy a single malt from Devon? Dartmoor Whisky offers three finishes, of which I personally like the savoury, winey Ex-Bordeaux Cask Single Malt (£59.50 for 70cl, 46%), but the distillery also has a smartly packaged and rather more affordable “Discovery Set” (£29.95 for three 50ml bottles), if you’d like to try all of its current range.”

Devon Life: December Issue
Spirit of Christmas
“Savour the flavour of this heady whisky made in Bovey Tracey that captures the spirit of Dartmoor. Devon-grown barley and spring water from the edge of Dartmoor National Park is distilled and then aged for three years in an ex-Bordeaux single cask, soaking up premium red wine aromas and flavours.
It has a medium amber hue with aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant that mingle with hints of chocolate and coconut plus a sweet and floral finish. Serve it neat with a dash of water or a cube of ice as an after dinner drink. “
