A 9-year-old from English Whisky Co. distillery, bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company.
This is Batch 4 that indie bottlers, Boutique-y, have sourced from the distillery, part of the Wine Cask Series MMXXI. Heavily peated and matured in an ex-Oloroso sherry cask, bottled at 67% with 407 bottles in the run.
The English Whisky Company led the new wave of English whisky makers when they released the first English single malt for more than a hundred years in 2009! They use some of the best barley, grown in Norfolk, and superb Breckland water to make their whisky.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Dried fruits; dates, raisins, figs, and plain chocolate Digestive biscuits. A sooty, slightly saline, smoke follows.
Palate: Dry, hints of coffee grounds, dark chocolate, fresh ginger, and salted dried plums.
Finish: Waves of peat smoke build into the peppery finish.
From Boutique-y:
“You’ll recognise our label from our first and second batch. St George is still battling that damn dragon, so we’ve brightened the label up a little so you can watch the battle go down.”
