The English Whisky Co. distils at St George’s Distillery in Norfolk, England’s first licensed whisky distillery in over a century. We proudly present Founders’ Private Cellar 18 Year Old – a Limited Edition Single Malt, matured for almost two decades in a single rum cask.
Hand-selected from the founding family’s private cellar, this exceptional whisky honours the distillery’s legacy and the pioneering spirit that defined its early years. Its character recalls the much-loved Chapter 7 rum cask release, still regarded as a timeless favourite by the founders.
Close your eyes and you’ll be reminded of rich rum and raisin ice cream – indulgent, nostalgic, and unmistakably unique. With only 174 individually numbered bottles available worldwide, this rare release is one for true collectors.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Lush fruits, caramel and vanilla, lifted by a subtle spice.
Palate: Full-bodied with warming cinnamon and clove, smooth vanilla, raisins, tropical boiled sweets and a whisper of oak smoke. Over time, the spice mellows into indulgent chocolate.
Finish: Medium to long, lingering with tropical fruit sweetness and oaky depth.
