Description

This English distillery is the first English producer to make whisky. The spirit is bottled from a single demi-muid (a 600-litre barrel). It’s densely fruity, with black cherries and dark berries. A splash of water and a few moments of breathing make this a true delight.

About this spirit

The English Distillery

The English Distillery is England’s oldest registered whisky distillery. Founded by the Nelstrop family in Norfolk in 2006, the distillery is still independent and creates multi-award winning whisky from honest, local ingredients. The distillery has a unique place in history. In 1901, the last recorded whisky distillery in England swapped from whisky to gin production before being destroyed by fire. This saw the end of whisky making in England until The English Distillery was granted a licence to distil whisky by HMRC. In 2006 it became the first registered, operational whisky in England in over 100 years.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
