The English Whisky Sherry Cask Triumphs as 'The Best Single Malt 2024'

In an unprecedented achievement, The English Whisky Sherry Cask has won the prestigious 'The Best Single Malt 2024' award, marking a significant milestone not just for the distillery but for English whisky as a whole. This award has put English whisky on the global map, elevating it to new heights of recognition and appreciation.

A Historic Win

The English Whisky Sherry Cask has captivated judges with its perfect balance of rich sherry notes, smooth texture, and complex flavour profile. This single malt stands out with its deep, amber hue and a nose full of dried fruits, spices, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of sweet sherry, oak, and subtle spice, finishing with a long, satisfying warmth.

The Distillery

Situated in the heart of Norfolk, the English Whisky Co. is the pioneer of the modern English whisky movement. Founded in 2006 by the Nelstrop family, the distillery is the first of its kind in England in over a century. It boasts a rich heritage of traditional whisky-making techniques, combined with innovative approaches to create unique and exceptional spirits. Their dedication to quality is evident in their use of the finest local ingredients and state-of-the-art distilling equipment.

The Core Range

While the Sherry Cask has stolen the spotlight, the English Whisky Co. offers a remarkable core range that deserves its own acclaim:

Original Single Malt: This expression showcases the pure, unadulterated spirit of English whisky. It is aged in bourbon casks, offering a light, floral aroma with notes of vanilla, honey, and a hint of citrus. The palate is smooth and creamy, with flavors of malt, toffee, and a touch of oak.

Smokey Single Malt: For those who prefer a more robust experience, the Smokey Single Malt is a standout. This whisky is peated to perfection, delivering a smoky, earthy aroma with undertones of seaweed and medicinal herbs. The taste is bold and complex, featuring layers of smoke, charred wood, and a peppery finish.

The Rise of English Whisky

The success of The English Whisky Sherry Cask is a testament to the growing recognition of English whisky on the international stage. Once overshadowed by its Scottish and Irish counterparts, English whisky is now carving out its own niche, characterized by innovative flavors and distinct regional qualities. The English Whisky Co. has been at the forefront of this movement, inspiring a new generation of distillers across the country.

With the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern ingenuity, English whisky is poised for a bright future. The industry's commitment to quality and excellence ensures that connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike can look forward to a diverse array of exceptional whiskies.
