English Whisky

Though distilling in England has roots going back centuries, the modern English whisky revival began in 2006 with the St. George’s Distillery in Norfolk. Today, there’s a growing wave of English distillers crafting single malts, grain whiskies, and even peated styles.
English whisky is made using traditional pot stills, locally grown barley, and matured in a wide range of casks—including bourbon, sherry, cider, and red wine barrels. Flavors vary but often lean toward biscuity malt, orchard fruit, floral tones, and creamy vanilla, with some expressions venturing into smoke and spice.
The cooler, wetter English climate results in a slow, steady aging process, producing delicate and nuanced drams. This young category is proving to be inventive and terroir-driven.

English Spirit Distillery English Spiced Rum, 50cl

Jam-packed with luxurious flavour, this scratch distilled rum is infused with red cherries, hibiscus and vanilla. The result is a delicious English spiced rum that’s great for sipping, or as a base for cocktails.. “This drink differs dramatically from your usual Caribbean rums, and in our opinion for the better. Its subtle warmth & hint of cherries gives it a distinctive flavour, from the first sip to the end of the glass it is a real treat. The use of alternate British fruit that is often forgotten made us like it more.” – Judging Panel, Great British Food Awards 2020.. “A very good rum, much more on the fruit side of the spectrum which I love, but in the background is all the textbook warmth and roundness and some really lovely ginger going on. The alcohol is well incorporated and balances out well, nothing is too harsh, it’s basically smooth sailing, and that’s exactly where I’d like to drink this… on a sailboat, in the sun.” – Charlie Stein, October 2020
