Frequently asked questions

When did English whisky start?

Whisky was made in England in the 1800s, but production died out. The modern revival began in 2006 when The English Distillery opened in Norfolk, and many new distilleries have followed.

How is English whisky different from Scotch?

There's no single English style. Without Scotch's long-established conventions, English distillers experiment more with casks, grains and peat, so you'll find a wide range of flavours.

Which English whisky should I try first?

The English Distillery's Classic or Cotswolds Single Malt are good starting points: approachable, fruity and great value.

Do you sell English whisky casks or single casks?

Yes, from time to time. Contact us about current single cask releases or see our whisky casks page.
