The distillery's One Point Six Founders' Club launches with three tier of membership – Concrete, Steel, and Granite – offering benefits including early access to new releases, distillery tours, and the exclusive opportunity to sample its new-make spirit Founders' Cask whisky.
One Point Six English Whisky is named after mathematician Fibonacci's golden ratio, which is said to be the secret behind many of the world's most aesthetically pleasing artistic and architectural compositions.
Co-founder and master distiller at the Spirit of Manchester Distillery, Seb Heeley-Wiggins, said: “The launch of the Founders’ Club is a key milestone in the One Point Six story. The club gives a unique opportunity for the public to sample One Point Six as it evolves from crystal clear new make spirit, into an exquisite English whisky.
“We’ve imagined the flavours we want to achieve for One Point Six and created them using a unique blend of English malts, including unusual brewers' malts, a combination of yeasts not typically found in distilling; a longer-than-average fermentation process and a choice selection of casks, which will result in a complex, fruity flavour profile which will continue to develop as One Point Six matures.”
Entry to the One Point Six Founders’ Club is open now, with the first batch of membership packs due to be shipped in November 2022. For more information can be found at onepointsixwhisky.com.
The Spirit of Manchester Distillery also produces the successful Manchester Gin range, and One Eyed Rebel rum.
