English Whisky

This whisky is part of Cotswolds 'Cask Expressions Collection'. It has been maturing in first fill bourbon barrels. This whisky has notes of creamy honey, vanilla and gentle fruits with a sweet and rounded finish.

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.

A marraige of ex-bourbon, ex-red Wine and ex-peated casks results in a very lively and fresh whisky with a distinctive fruit-salad style, running from pears and melon through to honey-drizzled peaches and nectarines. Creamy vanilla custard and a touch of peat round out this English single malt.

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.

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, the spirit is then matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels and reconditioned (aka STR) red wine casks. The aroma is sweetly honeyed, with butterscotch and plenty of fruit - stonefruits fresh and stewed, along with nutty marzipan. The palate is oily, lush and rich, with orange marmalade, muscavado or brown sugar and tannins, bringing a twist of cracked black pepper. The finish is treacled, with dark red fruit and soft wooded flavours lingering. A truly excellent whisky from England made with great passion and craft.
