Something is stirring south of the border, and no, it’s not just a mild sense of rivalry.
English whisky is on the rise, with a new generation of distillers crafting bold, expressive single malts and ryes that aren’t trying to be Scotch, but might just impress the socks off Scotch drinkers.

Bottles to buy to enter
To enter, you just need to purchase any of the below. You can buy as much as you like. We recommend sampling across a couple of different distilleries to really appreciate the diversity and quality within English whisky. Not because it means more sweet dolla in our pockets. Nope. Anyway, here’s the list:
What makes English whisky different?
It’s not just the postcode. English whisky distillers tend to embrace modernity with both hands.
Expect creative cask finishes, experimental blends, and untraditional mash bills (hello, rye). There’s a real sense of craft-meets-character. It’s a category still defining itself and in doing so, redefining what English whisky can be.
But sample the goods above, and we’re confident you’ll find that English whisky is about precision, progress, and proving the doubters wrong.
So what are you waiting for? Get entering now!
