The Rosemaund Farm 2nd Release Orchard Cut English Single Malt 10 Year Old Whisky is a bright and distinctive English whisky shaped by its Herefordshire setting. Made with Maris Otter barley and distilled and aged among old apple orchards on the family farm, Orchard Cut carries a fresh, green and spring-like character that sets it apart from heavier oak-led whisky styles.
Bottled in 2026 at 47.5% ABV, this second release was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks from Heaven Hill and Jim Beam. With an outturn of 1,500 bottles, it offers a polished orchard-led profile of green apple, citrus peel, floral honey, soft vanilla, gentle spice and light oak.
For drinkers exploring English single malt whisky, and for collectors looking for a release with clear provenance and a strong sense of place, the Rosemaund Farm Orchard Cut 10 Year Old is a fascinating bottle from one of England’s most distinctive whisky projects.
The Story Behind Rosemaund Farm
Rosemaund Farm is based in Herefordshire, a county closely associated with orchards, cider apples and agricultural heritage. That sense of place is central to the identity of Orchard Cut, which has been distilled and aged among old apple orchards on the family farm.
Rather than presenting English whisky as a copy of Scotch, Rosemaund Farm leans into its own local setting. The use of Maris Otter barley, farm-based production and orchard surroundings gives the whisky a clear regional identity, while the 10 year old age statement adds maturity and credibility.
The wider English whisky collection at HTFW includes distilleries and bottlers from across the country, showing how quickly English whisky has developed into a serious and varied category. Rosemaund Farm adds a particularly agricultural and orchard-led voice to that growing landscape.
What Is Orchard Cut?
Rosemaund Farm Orchard Cut is a 10 year old English single malt whisky bottled as the second release from the farm. The name reflects the whisky’s bright orchard character, with apple, citrus, floral and honeyed notes forming the heart of the profile.
This is not a heavy, dark or aggressively cask-led whisky. Orchard Cut is built around clarity, freshness and balance. The ex-bourbon casks add shape, vanilla and soft spice, but the whisky remains led by fruit and lift rather than heavy sweetness.
That makes it especially interesting for drinkers who enjoy elegant single malt whisky with a clean fruit-led profile. It is mature enough to show structure, but fresh enough to feel distinctive and modern.
A 10 Year Old English Single Malt
A 10 year old age statement is significant for English whisky. While the English whisky category has grown quickly in recent years, many releases are still relatively young compared with established Scotch whisky bottlings. A 10 year old English single malt therefore offers a more developed and mature view of the category.
In the Rosemaund Farm Orchard Cut 10 Year Old, that maturation allows the orchard fruit, citrus, honey and vanilla notes to come together with greater polish. The whisky feels fresh, but not immature. The ex-bourbon cask influence brings softness and balance without overwhelming the spirit.
For customers looking to understand how English whisky develops with age, this is a strong bottle to explore.
Matured in Heaven Hill and Jim Beam Ex-Bourbon Casks
Orchard Cut was matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks from Heaven Hill and Jim Beam. These American oak casks bring a clean and familiar structure to the whisky, adding vanilla, soft oak, gentle spice and sweetness.
Ex-bourbon maturation works especially well here because it supports the orchard-led character rather than covering it. The casks bring roundness and polish, while allowing notes of green apple, citrus peel and floral honey to remain clear.
That balance is central to the appeal of the Rosemaund Farm 2nd Release Orchard Cut. It is an English single malt with enough cask influence to feel complete, but not so much that the fresh farm and orchard character is lost.
The Whisky Inside the Bottle
The whisky inside this bottle is a 10 year old English single malt bottled at 47.5% ABV. The strength gives it more presence than a standard 40% bottling while keeping the profile clean, balanced and approachable.
Expect fresh orchard fruit, green apple, citrus peel and floral honey on the nose, with soft vanilla and dried fruit adding roundness. The palate is bright and polished, bringing apple, gentle spice, honeyed sweetness and ex-bourbon softness. The finish is clean and balanced, with lingering orchard fruit, light oak and a fresh lifted character.
Only 1,500 bottles were released, giving this second release a clear limited edition appeal. The bottle is listed as unboxed, making it best suited to customers who are focused on the whisky itself and the release story rather than outer packaging.

Why This Rosemaund Farm Release Is Collectible
This bottle has several qualities that make it appealing to collectors of English whisky. It is the second release of Orchard Cut, it carries a 10 year old age statement, it was bottled in 2026, it was matured exclusively in Heaven Hill and Jim Beam ex-bourbon casks, and it has an outturn of 1,500 bottles.
English whisky collecting is still a developing area, which makes early, age-stated and limited releases especially interesting. Bottles with strong provenance and a clear production story can become important reference points as the category matures.
For collectors who already follow names such as Bimber, The English Whisky Co., Cotswolds or The Lakes, Rosemaund Farm offers another distinctive English whisky voice with a more rural, orchard-led identity.
A Gift for English Whisky Fans
The Rosemaund Farm 2nd Release Orchard Cut makes a thoughtful gift for whisky drinkers who enjoy discovering smaller producers and newer whisky regions. Its Herefordshire farm story, 10 year old age statement and orchard-led flavour profile give it a clear point of difference.
It is particularly well suited to fans of English whisky, bourbon cask single malt, fruit-led whisky and bottles with genuine local provenance. The 47.5% ABV strength gives it enough structure for experienced drinkers, while the fresh orchard character keeps it approachable.

Rosemaund Farm vs Other English Whisky
English whisky is not one single style. Some releases are rich and sherry-led, some are heavily oak-driven, some are experimental, and others focus on grain, fruit and local identity. Rosemaund Farm stands out because Orchard Cut feels closely tied to its farm and orchard setting.
Compared with richer cask-led releases, Rosemaund Farm Orchard Cut is brighter and more lifted. Compared with younger English single malts, its 10 year old age statement gives more maturity and polish. Compared with heavily sherried English whisky, its ex-bourbon cask maturation keeps the focus on apple, citrus, honey and soft vanilla.
That makes it a useful bottle for customers who want to explore the lighter, fresher and more orchard-led side of English single malt.
How to Enjoy Rosemaund Farm Orchard Cut
Rosemaund Farm Orchard Cut is best served in a way that allows its freshness and fruit character to show clearly.
Neat: The best way to appreciate its green apple, citrus peel, floral honey and soft vanilla.
With a few drops of water: Water can reveal more fruit, honey and gentle spice.
In a tulip-shaped glass: Ideal for concentrating the aromas and appreciating the whisky’s orchard-led profile.
As an aperitif-style dram: Its fresh, lifted character makes it well suited to early evening sipping.
With light food pairings: Works well alongside soft cheeses, apple tart, lemon desserts or roasted nuts.
Because this is a limited second release, some collectors may choose to keep the bottle sealed. For those who open it, the whisky offers a bright and polished expression of mature English single malt.
