A cask-strength single malt matured in shaved, toasted and recharred American oak red wine casks. This cask-strength release from the Cotswolds distillery comes from the favourite casks of founder, Daniel Szor. These uniquely active casks give a rich and intense maturation to the distillery's fruity spirit, offering toffee, oak and red fruits, and a beautiful, deep colour.
Our barley is malted for us by hand in Britain's oldest floor maltings, just south of us in Warminster (Wilts). We then mill it ourselves at our Cotswolds distillery.
The barrels were designed by our good friend, Dr Jim Swan, to whose memory we dedicate this special bottling. We hope you enjoy the exceptional depth of flavour in this very approachable English single malt whisky.
Cask strength: Between 59.1% ABV and 60.5% ABV
Best served on its own, or on the rocks.
Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week.
