Double Wood Cask Strength will be released annually, each time with a new illustration from a local artist. It’s our way of backing the creative community around us. Every release is an invitation to an artist whose work we admire.
For our very first release we have collaborated with Karan Singh. Karan is an artist whose practice spans illustration, sculpture and moving image. His work finds new meaning in familiar shapes and everyday objects, shifting their scale, material and context. Over 15 years, he has also collaborated with fashion, technology and music brands.
Double Wood
Cask Strength 2026
Double Wood begins as Bakery Hill’s unpeated new make spirit, matured for up to 7 years in American Oak ex-Bourbon barrels. It’s then transferred to French Oak, shaved back to bare wood and given a light toast, so what you taste is the oak itself rather than what the barrel held before. Single barrel maturation means no blending and every ounce of flavour.
The result is rich and multi-dimensional, like Christmas in a glass. Apricot, coconut and plum open the way, followed by golden syrup, plum pudding and cloves. Drawn directly from the cask at 60% ABV, this first annual release is best enjoyed neat or with a couple of drops of water.
