Single Malt
1 Aug 2007
Wine Cask
An independently bottled single malt from the English Whisky Co. in Norfolk, matured in a Burgundy wine cask! It was distilled back in 2007 and left to age for 11 years, before being bottled by North Star Spirits with an outturn of 330 bottles.
Oak char and red grape skin, with distinctive wine aromas and a hint of liquorice.
Dark chocolate-dipped cherry, with a flinty backdrop, a dusting of five spice and raspberry jam.
A malty finish with stewed plum.

over priced
Was really surprised to read the reviews below - I'm typically not a fan of wine casks at all, but this was wonderful! Deep plum and tannin flavours, with the usual crisp notes of a St George's whisky. Only the faintest hint of sulphur to detect, which doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment.
If you like the sulphur note (i do) it's a lovely dram. Overpriced, however. I'd be happy to be served it but would not buy. Would rate it higher if it was more like £60
Huge Sulphur notes straight off the bat and then... more of the same. The sulphur really doesn't let any other flavours come through, shame as I was looking forward to this being an interesting bottling.
Absolutely foul and by far the worst whisky I have ever tried. Sulphur and burned rubber with no redeeming features. Why they bottled this is beyond me.
