Prior to St. George's Distillery coming online in 2006, there hadn't been a drop of English whisky distilled since 1898. As you can imagine, there was quite a stir when, in 2009, we finally saw legit English Single Malt Whisky. Those early releases were interesting, but now that we're seeing proper well-matured whisky from these folks, we're seeing just how much firepower the The English Whisky Company really has. The future is very bright. Ex-Bourbon cask matured and bottled at 46%.

This Single Malt Whisky from Cotswolds Distillery was aged in ex-peated quarter casks (hmm, which distillery could those be from...). The peated casks lend nuance and, well, notes of peat to the unpeated Cotswolds Whisky.
Quarter casks, to be exact. These 125-litre casks typically offer big flavour and influence on the maturing whisky within a shorter amount of time when compared to a full-size 200 Litre Barrel or 250 Litre Hogshead. Big wood influence, yeah, but don't expect this to be a peat monster, by any means.
It's also pretty cool that this is all floor-malted local barley (Anchor and Fermentis varieties). Love the 'grain to glass' ethos!
2,950 bottles. Natural colour, non-chill-filtered, and bottled at 60.2%

The Lakes Distillery first opened in December 2014 in The Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. It was founded by Paul Currie, who was one of the co-founders of the Isle of Arran Distillery before that. This bottling is one of their Whiskymaker's Editions - which are one-off limited releases. This is the first bottling Lakes Single Malt Whisky to come to Canada. It was matured in a combination of ex-Sherry casks and ex-Malaga Wine casks.
Bottled at 52% ABV.
