English Single Malt

Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky is the first whisky ever distilled in the Cotswolds, England. This cask strength release from the Cotswolds Distillery is a vatting of shaved, toasted and re-charred American Oak red wine barriques selected by founder Daniel Szor. The nose presents notes of sweet plums, dark chocolate and fig rolls, leading into spoonfuls of cranachan and fresh strawberries on the palate. The finish is rich and nutty with a lingering array of spices.

The Cotswolds distillery was established in 2014, becoming the first full-scale distillery in the history of the area. Using only locally grown barley which is then floor malted. This new expression is matured in a selection of Ex-Sherry casks, American oak and European, both butts and hogsheads, seasoned with Olorosso or PX. The style is richer and fuller on the palate than earlier expressions, full of dried and stewed fruit, sweet spiciness and delicate nuttiness. A truly excellent new whisky from England made with great passion and craft.

From the English Distillery Company located in Norfolk England, here we have a sweet and rather interesting single malt bottled by Cadenhead?s. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels and bottled at 12 years old. Creamy vanilla opens on the nose, followed by fragrant heather and burning tree branches. The palate brings syrupy richness, honey roasted cashews, vanilla essence and subtle peat notes. Finishing with smouldering pine, heather honey and burnt orange.
