English Single Malt Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%
Founded in 2006, The English Whisky Company's St. George's Distillery in Norfolk was the first of the new wave of English distilleries, and the distillery's careful stewardship of their earliest stocks enables them now to release medium sized batches of older English single malt whiskies.
This bottling is the third edition of 'The English' 11-year-old and is a batch of 4300 bottles matured in first fill and refill American oak casks and bottled at 46% without colouring or chill filtration. A delightfully characterful dram, The English 11-year-old is a flagship for the complexities of mature English malt whisky,

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: A complex nose with gentle notes of vanilla and citrus. A subtle herbal note; think mint and sage. Very fruity with hints of baked apple, peach, mango, dried apricots and cherries. A background note of nuts; think almonds. The oak from the casks comes across as clean pencil shavings. Lovely!
Palate: Sweet and spicy; dry and woody with lovely oak overtones. The fruits come across with the cherries, apples and tropical fruits dominating.
Finish: A nicely balanced peppery and spicy tingle on the tongue, with a rich, oily and slightly dry finish.
