Very exciting stuff here, folks! This is the first single malt whisky from the Cotswolds Distillery (as well as being the first single malt whisky ever distilled in the Cotswold countryside!). A much-anticipated release, which has been produced using barley grown in the Cotswolds, distilled in their Forsyths copper pot stills (Mary & Janis) and aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and red wine casks. We've been eagerly awaiting this whisky, and we know plenty of you have been too!
The first thing you notice are spicy cereal notes, malt and porridge, then comes the fruit - orange peel and lemon. Grassy and floral flavours followed by marzipan.
Beautiful texture, creamy and round, with sweet citrus fruit and black pepper.
Good length. There’s vanilla custard and a lift of aromatic freshness that will make you want another sip.
Shows really good potential. Wears its 46% ABV and young age well. I liked the initial creaminess and the pepper. Maybe lacks a little depth but not something a bit of age will fix. I agree with others: it asks for another sip. Want to score it four but does get there….yet. I think it will.
Cracking stuff. The flavour profile couldn't be any more English - it's a big fruit cake, basically, with elements of honey, toffee, vanilla, spice and perhaps a little ginger zing to keep things exciting. It'll probably offend people who drink only the more austere, one-note Scottish whiskies but I'm sure it will delight anyone looking for a rounded, full-flavoured glass at a good price.
This was bought for me as a Christmas present. Did not realise at first it was an English whisky, but soon realised this was something special, as good as any Scotch or Irish whisky. I love the smooth somewhat sweet taste. The aroma suggests something almonds. I'm sold on this one!
Disappointing. A triumph of marketing over substance. Too young by a good four years and a wild unbalanced spirit. I’m keeping mine for cocktails.
Had a taste in their shop on Broadway high street and wasn’t expecting much, initial impression seemed like it was going the way I thought, pronounced burn, definitely young but then when the burn dissipated there was a lovely long finish, quite sweet but lots of spice, reminiscent of mince pies, little orange peel, vanilla, cola, smells like an old fashioned which isn’t a surprise given the bourbon barrels involved. Really not bad for a regular sipper at £30!
