The English - Sherry Butts | 700ML

A glorious single malt from the folks at St. George's Distillery over in Norfolk! Distilled in November 2013, this unpeated expression was allowed to mature in sherry butts until February 2022, when a total of 2,850 bottles were released. Magnificently rich and fruity, with sweet sticky toffee notes, it's another tasty treat from The English series.

Finish: Burnt sugar lingers with gentle spice, followed by more dried fruits with dustings of cocoa.

Distillery Information

St. George’s distillery released the first legal English whisky in over a century in December 2009. Their single malt whiskies are released under The English Whisky Co., and each is given a chronological chapter number, although chapters 1-4 were not technically whiskies, not having been aged for the required minimum of 3 years. The distillery, founded by James and Andrew Nelstrop, is situated near the Norfolk town of Thetford and began distilling on 12th December 2006. Impressively, The English Whisky Co. source their barley, yeast and water (the three ingredients needed for whisky production) from within England, making this a truly English spirit. The distillery manager David Fitt, who used to work for Greene King, spent four valuable months working alongside Iain Henderson, formerly of Laphroaig, learning his new trade and adapting from his brewing background before assuming his current role. In a short amount of time St. George’s has produced a range of whiskies: peated and unpeated; bourbon matured and sherry matured--Chapter 7 even had a rum finish. They have also branched out into cream liqueurs and fortified wine.
