About Cotswolds
Cotswolds Distillery is located in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England, known for its rolling hills and charming villages. Established in 2014, it produces a range of spirits, including its signature Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky. This whisky is crafted from 100% British barley and aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks.
It all started back in 2014, when Cotswolds Distillery founder Dan, a native New Yorker and whisky connoisseur, had moved to the Cotswolds after working in finance in London for many years. Seeking to leave behind that world and spend more time in the picturesque countryside of the Cotswolds with his family, it eventually dawned on him that he could combine his love of whisky with his desire to start a new business. A dedicated whisky fan, Dan saw the fields of golden barley around his house in the Cotswolds and had a brainwave ‘I suddenly thought, there’s barley all over the Cotswolds and nobody’s distilling it, let’s be the first!’
