COTSWOLDS DISTILLERY SIGNATURE SINGLE MALT WHISKY
The production protocols follow a 92-hour fermentation, with high cut points on the spirit still to get a lighter, fruity spirit. After distillation the result is a light, colourless, new make spirit which is diluted and put into casks to mature for just over three years. This whisky is then aged at our distillery in the Cotswolds.
NOSE:
Notes of honey & butterscotch layered with light stone fruits & a hint of marzipan.
PALATE:
Strong notes of tannin-rich malt, oils and dark sugar with lots of spice, caramelised Seville orange marmalade.
FINISH:
Long and resinous, with dark red fruits and a hint of treacle.
ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE: 46%
AVAILABLE SIZES: 70cl
Our award-winning Cotswolds Signature Single Malt Whisky is the first whisky ever to be distilled in the Cotswolds and the one which remains at the heart of our DNA since launching in 2017.
Our Signature Single Malt Whisky is crafted using the finest locally grown, traditionally floor-malted Cotswold barley. Matured in highly active STR (Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred) ex-red wine casks and premium first-fill ex-bourbon casks, this single malt whisky provides an incredible depth of rich and bold flavour.
