English Whisky
Perhaps more well known for their ales, ciders and gins, unbeknownst to many, England also produces a wealth of fantastic whiskies too. From the Lakelands of Cumbria and beaches of Cornwall to the idyllic surrounds of The Cotswolds, you don’t have to search for long to find a treasure trove of English-made whisky. At The Whisky World, we make sure to stock an all-encompassing range of English whisky for you to enjoy. Here, you’ll find a selection of brands that cater to all tastes, featuring prestigious blends from Cotswold, The English Whisky Co., and The Lakes Distillery.
English whiskies often provide notes of sweetness, fruit and subtle spice. While some believe they taste similar to Scotch whiskies from north of the border, English spirits have cultivated their unique flavour profile.
How many English whisky distilleries are there?
Although England is not very well known for making whisky, there were distillers operating in London, Liverpool, and Bristol until the late nineteenth century. Production of English single malt whisky fell silent at the start of the twentieth century, only to resume a century later at the start of the new millennium. There are currently at least six distilleries producing English whisky throughout England. The main characteristics of English whisky are apples, cream, and cloves.
