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.

My God, what a perfect drink. I just fell in love
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.
This is an exquisite Whiskey.
