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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
