Distillery Bottling

Wow this packs a punch for one so young and many a distillery would kill for an Ex-Bourbon cask of this quality at 10 years old let alone 5!

Clean as a whistle Bourbon cask aged offering from the good folks in Norfolk and well worth seeking out.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Pale straw-gold with a sunlit glow and a whisper of honey.

Nose

Vanilla shortbread and fresh barley lead the aroma, brightened by lemon sponge cake and white wine grapes with a hint of White Port. Dried apricot and yellow plums unfold, joined by custard powder and sugared almonds, layering a creamy, confectionary sweetness with delicate grainy warmth.

Palate

Lemon drizzle cake mingles with vanilla-coated almonds as fresh straw and rich grapey notes unfold, shaded by white chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and poached pears in syrup.

Finish

An indulgent, dessert-forward finish: rum-and-raisin ice cream meets vanilla panna cotta, with sugared almonds adding a delicate crunch. White port, apricot and ripe pear drift in, while lemon rind brightens the fade and a whisper of vanillin spice lingers.

The English
Pioneers of English Whisky Making - When The English founders built the distillery at the Norfolk site, they chose a spot directly above a source of sweet, mineral-rich water; the same water that’s made their whisky every day since 2006. Norfolk’s microclimate is optimal for barrel ageing, with clean air, mild winters, and dry summers. Every drop of ‘The English’ is aged in carefully selected barrels onsite.
