“70cl / 46.0% – Very exciting stuff here, folks. This is the first single malt whisky from the Cotswolds Distillery (in addition to being the first single malt whisky ever distilled in the Cotswold countryside.). A much-anticipated release, which has been produced the usage of barley grown in the Cotswolds, distilled in their Forsyths copper pot stills (Mary & Janis) and aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and red wine casks. We’ve been eagerly awaiting this whisky, and we know a variety of you have been too.”
HOW WE MAKE IT – This whisky is made with local barley fermented for 90 hours to generate a fruity flavour. After distillation the result is a light, colourless, new make spirit which is diluted and put into casks to mature for just over three years
THE COTSWOLDS TASTE – Notes of honey, butterscotch, layered fruits, and a hint of marzipan. It has strong notes of tannin-wealthy malt on the palate with dark sugar, spice and caramelised Seville marmalade
BEST WAYS TO SERVE – We do not consider in rules in relation to enjoying whisky – sip this neat, over ice, in a cocktail
CAREFULLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS – Our whisky is made the usage of only in the community grown barley and two varieties of yeast to verify good yields and fruity flavours. The local water is filtered and demineralised and our barrels are premium first-fill Kentucky ex-bourbon barrels
MULTI AWARD WINNING – Our Single Malt Whisky was once awarded ‘Best English Single Malt’ at the World Whiskies Awards 2018 and ‘Best World Whisky’ at the International Whisky Competition 2018
