Cotswolds Description
The first whisky ever made in the Cotswolds, our award-winning Cotswolds Signature Single Malt Whisky is crafted using the finest locally grown, traditionally floor-malted Cotswold barley. Belonging to our Classics Collection, our Signature Single Malt favours the rich and bold, fruity notes which result from maturation in our highly active STR (Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred) ex-red wine barriques. Blended with whisky matured in premium first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels, this single malt has notes of honey, red fruits and a hint of treacle. Non-chill filtered. Natural colouring.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
This English single malt is matured in casks seasoned with dry oloroso and sweet PX sherries. The result is brown sugar and marzipan aromas. The palate only fleetingly echoes that sweetness, leading into sandalwood and cedar, finishing with piquant lemon and ginger and cayenne heat. Mix into Penicillins, you've got a head start here.
Whisky Advocate: 91 Points
Similar to Cotswolds Reserve, this standard strength bottling is aged in first-fill bourbon casks and STR red wine casks, and their influence is apparent on the nose: toffee, vanilla cream, banoffee pie, sliced red apple, apricot, dry spices, and dried fruits. Lighter textured than Cotswolds Reserve, there’s a satisfying balance of mandarin, red apple, pepper, vanilla, and cherry, with the red apple notes coming out on top.
