The English Single Imperial Stout Cask #12876 9 Year Old · 2016 Vintage Whisky | 700ML

This 9-year-old release from The English was matured in a single imperial stout cask and bottled at a natural strength of 57.9% ABV. The stout cask gives the whisky a richer, darker profile than a more traditional oak maturation, adding roasted depth and a softer sweetness to the distillery’s naturally approachable style. That cask influence works particularly well here, bringing together notes of chocolate, coffee, dark malt and gentle spice without overwhelming the whisky itself.

Distillery Information

Pioneers of English Whisky Making - When The English founders built the distillery at the Norfolk site, they chose a spot directly above a source of sweet, mineral-rich water; the same water that’s made their whisky every day since 2006. Norfolk’s microclimate is optimal for barrel ageing, with clean air, mild winters, and dry summers. Every drop of ‘The English’ is aged in carefully selected barrels onsite.
