Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky

I bought my first bottle some weeks ago and it did not last long! It will not be my last. This is now one of a number of favourites.

I love the taste of whisky but this one is an absolute classic, probably the best I’ve ever had, very impressed. Will be ordering another for my Birthday in May :).

Highly enjoyable smooth whisky. A perfect balance of flavours, understated, complete. At last, an English single malt that can complete with the best scotch whisky.

3rd February 2019

Having lived in Tredington for many years not a mile away from the distillery; now in Gloucestershire (still the Cotswolds) .
This is brilliant ! A bottle a week, (plus gruyere cheese).
Must visit the distillery.
I've discovered year round Christmas..

Very smooth and fragrant. Unique flavour. I love it!

13th December 2018

Simply majestic whisky. Complex, rich, surprising.

Don't miss out on this one

24th November 2018

My God, what a perfect drink. I just fell in love

23rd November 2018

This was the finest single Malt at the Manchester Whisky Festival on Saturday 27/10/18

This is a beautiful whisky, and surprisingly complex for its young age. You get a hint of the red wine barrel on the nose, and right at the end of the taste too. I look forward to seeing what this distillery does in the future.

Whisky is not a controlled name: however Scotch Whisky is. So, no problems with the name. Regardless, this whisky, despite its youth is a lovely drop.

10th October 2018

This is an exquisite Whiskey.

Was lucky enough to obtain a bottle of the 1st release after visiting the distillery last year.
Impressive set up and their gin is fantastic as well. The whisky is very good, highly recommend it. Go on, you know you want to!

To the reviewer who “thought” the word “whisky” was a controlled name: why not spend a few minutes making sure you know what you’re talking about, before you dis the fruit of someone’s labour with a pointless 1-star review (all the moreso when you’ve admittedly never even tried the product)?! It only takes a few minutes, and you’d have discovered that the term “whisky” can be and is used by the Japanese, French, Dutch, Taiwanese, Australians, Swedes.....the list goes on. Also, what “origins in Scotland” are you referring to, when those origins are every bit as Irish as they are Scottish?

28th June 2018

Have not tried it (I would love to) but I thought that “whisky” was a controlled name that could be applied only to Scottish whisky. Surely, no matter how good it is it should be termed “whiskey” to respect the origins in Scotland.

24th June 2018

Gave 4 rather than five to take into account some other Whisky you can get for the same price. This whisky apparently was designed to fit in with Costwolds where it is distilled and to taste good even when young and they hit the bullseye on both of those.
Agree with the tasting notes, I get some butter as well but that is probably due to oiliness (in a good way). There is some youthful heat but not in a bad way and in line of the Big Red comment, feels more like a cinnamon heat (old fashioned cinnamon balls) than a Chile or Pepper heat.
Bought another to put away for later times.

11th June 2018

Far more complex than a 3 year old whisky should be. Beautifully balanced, with an interesting red wine finish right on the back of the nose. I'll be keeping an eye on this distillery for sure. 5 stars.

13th May 2018

A whisky that is punching well above it's weight. Picked this up at a food festival in Gloucestershire and im glad i did. Lovely nose of honey and marzipan, soft in the mouth with a orange marmalade finish. Beautiful. Will be buying more while its less known!

9th May 2018

For a young whisky it punches well above it's weight.
Delicious and highly recommended

12th April 2018

A lovely drop.

19th March 2018

This is an excellent new-comer to the market. Has all the flavor and character of a single malt scotch! Nice and spicy, nutty flavour. Cutting with just a touch of water really opens it up.

No wonder they are winning awards.

10th February 2018

Normally I'm pretty good about my tasting notes matching those of others. And I do get the sweet and fruity nose, spicy plate, and fruity finish with a lingering spice. But I can't get beyond that all of these add up to chewing a piece of Big Red cinnamon gum. It is such a resemblance that my jaw automatically starts to chew the whisky. Very odd...but tasty.

28th December 2017

Bought two bottles of the inaugural release after a distillery tour. The nose is so similar to the Dalmore 15 and the taste isn't far off either.
Rich mouthfeel and full of flavour and character. Looking forward to future bottling.

6th December 2017

Very Young tasting whisky; long peppery aftertaste, definitely honeyed, slight marmalade, lovely smooth mouthfeel once the water is added, unpleasant neat. Would definitely buy future mature bottlings if this initial juvenile offering is anything to go by

20th November 2017

Fantastic Whisky, quirky and bound to be a hit! Looking forward to the next batch!

25th October 2017

Great on the nose, fruity on the sip, outstanding stuff.

24th October 2017

A superb whisky, unbelievable character considering how young it is. A true testament to the investment in ingredients and casks they use.

19th October 2017

I have a bottle ordered but not had a chance to pick it up yet but I have sampled some of the test batch back in 2016 and it tasted wonderful then so I just had to have a bottle from the first barrel!
From memory, it had a lovely treacly taste that stayed strong in the mouth. Hoping the fully matured product is even more pronounced!

18th October 2017

I pre ordered two bottles of this whisky 4 yrs ago. Got my hand on this at the harvest festival open day. When I tasted this whisky I was totally overwhelmed . For a you whisky the taste is fantastic. I boughtba 3rd bottle on the daybto drink as the other 2 are going in storage. I have put a bet on with my wife that this whisky will win whisky of the year soon.

17th October 2017

Tried this at their launch party. This single malt is a real corker. Fantastic fruit in the spirit and sweet notes of butterscotch. It beats my favourite Scottish (Benromach 12yo)
