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.
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.
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!
Simply majestic whisky. Complex, rich, surprising. Don't miss out on this one
