About this deal

Yes, whiskey is popular in England. It is among the top whiskey consumers worldwide, along with Japan, India, France, and the United States [3] . Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Whisky Magazine - Icons of Whisky Awards 2020 - Distillery Manager of the Year - Rest of the World - David Fitt It’s a long-forgotten fact, at least in the States, that those two traits—quality local grain and good water—once allowed whisky production to flourish in England. But a hundred-odd years ago, the last English distilleries closed their doors, thanks to pressure from their northern neighbors and the booming popularity of the country’s other favorite spirit, gin. In the last decade, though, growing market interest in local products and new, unique craft spirits expressions has fostered a whisky resurgence on English soil. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.

It introduces fruit and floral taste to the mouth and ends with a little butter and burnt toast flavors. 7. The Oxford Artisan Distillery There are currently 49 English distilleries across 9 regions in England, [15] 26 independent distilleries and 23 distilleries that are members of the English Whisky Guild. [16] This single grain whisky is another interesting offer from The English Whisky Company. In addition to releasing single malts, the company also distilled grain liqueurs and whiskies under the “Norfolk” brand at the St. George’s Distillery.

Iain Henderson - a distiller of note from Laphroaig - was talked into helping get the distillery going instead of retiring The distillery’s flagship lineup uses a chapter system, with Chapter 5 representing their first-ever whisky release (chapters 1-4 were new make or less than three years old, which legally can’t be called whisky in the U.K.). This particular expression, English Whisky Company Classic Single Malt, lives outside that numbering system. It’s a non-chill filtered single malt, aged in used oak for an unspecified length of time, and bottled at 46% ABV. Tasting Notes: The English Whisky Company Classic Single Malt Age and maturity are two separate issues. Age is time. Maturity is the interaction between liquid and wood. We have a warmer climate here, and then there’s the nature of wood. You’ve all those other factors coming in. In Scotland, you might lose 2%. Here it’s 4-5%, so there’s more oxidation.They only wanted to make a barrel a week to start with. But they built the distillery anyway, so I think it was quite a brave thing to do. I think honestly this distillery was the catalyst for the kind of craft distillers we’ve seen coming through in the years since. I don’t think you would have seen The Lakes, Cotswolds and others. I don’t think they would exist. The brand had already been making beer since the 14th century. But in 2013, their Copper House Gin won the “World’s Best Gin” at the International Wine& Spirits Competition, leading the company to turn to whisky-making. Is English whisky different to Scottish in terms of its identity? I think, because we’re making it in a similar way, generally speaking in terms of flavour, and probably because it’s malt whisky, there’s a similarity.

When Iain did finally retire, he spent 16 weeks training David Fitt, previously a brewer from Greene King, to take over Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

What initially happened was the phenol level was quite low, because they were hedging their bets. We then pushed the peating level up, and now we specify a minimum of 50ppm [parts per million]. We can have anything above that. We do some triple distillation about once a year, maybe eight casks. It works quite well. Our standard distillation is six to six-and-a-half hours, and triple is 12 hours, so double. It’s a whole extra day’s production. English Whisky distilleries have created 443 jobs across England and is available in 32 markets around the world [46] It has a lovely aromatic sweetness of fruit, vanilla, and white sugar. But the palate has more depth with flavors of apples, berries, kiwis, cherries, and cinnamon spice. 2. Anno Bristol Distillery (founded in the 17th century) — produced grain whisky which was "sent to Scotland and Ireland to make a Blended Scotch and Irish whisky, for whisky purpose it is specially adapted, and stands in high favour".Wizards of Whisky Awards 2020 - Gold Medals - English Original & English Smokey, Small Batch Virgin Oak & Small Batch Smokey Oak Dan Szor established the Cotswolds Distillery in 2014, the same year that they also started distilling their Cotswolds Single Malt using locally grown barley. The Cotswolds Distillery eventually launched the region’s first whisky in 2017 after aging it in previously filled American oak casks. However, in recent years, the whisky industry in England started to reawaken with new distilleries opening in different parts of the country. The list includes the Lakes Distillery located in Lake District, Cumbria; the East London Liquor Company in Bow Wharf; the Cotswolds Distillery; and the London Distillery Company. On November 18, 2023 Birmingham hosted its second English Whisky Festival with 32 distilleries participating in the event. The event consisted of two whisky master classes, one by the Cooper King Distillery and one by The English Whisky Co as well as whisky tasting and other activities. [50] See also [ edit ] Lea Valley Distillery, Stratford, Essex (founded in the late 19th century) — produced both grain and malt whisky.
