Cotswolds Signature Single Malt Whisky

Cotswolds Signature Single Malt Whisky, England 

Nose: Notes of honey and butterscotch layered with light fruits (peaches & apricots), 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. 

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"It’s quite a tick list for their first single malt: 100% locally grown floor-malted barley, long fermentations, unusual yeast strains, innovative distillation cuts, and bourbon and shave-toast-rechar red wine casks. Honey, sugar-sprinkled shortbread, peach tarts, marzipan fruits, glacé apricot, finely shredded citrus peel, and young pink rhubarb. Flavors of heather honey, chili flakes, Christmas spices, caramelized sugar, malt; then marmalade, dried red fruits, and cappuccino. A great all-rounder. More please!"

93/100 points, WHISKY ADVOCATE, 2018

"Lively citrus intertwines with elderflower, honeysuckle and tropical fruit on the nose and palate. The floral notes particularly linger on the finish"
