This limited edition release from the The English Whisky Co is a heavily peated single malt that matured in ex-sherry casks, adding depth and fruit to its thick smoke. There are notes of stewed apricots, dark chocolate and stone fruit, leading to ash, almond and vanilla ice cream.
The Founder’s Private Cellar is an incredibly rare release of some of the English Whisky Co’s most individualistic casks. They are incredibly proud each time they release a cask from the cellar, which was first started by James Nelstrop, the founder.
This single malt whisky was distilled in early August 2007 and was one of the first port casks we ever filled. 16 years later, the whisky is delightful, with a hint of smoke and a wonderful taste of juicy dark fruits, ginger biscuits and a lovely oily texture creating a good long finish.
This sublime bottling is testament to the quality of whisky produced by The English Distillery. and a celebration of our Founders dream to make whisky in England.

The English Whisky Co have been waiting a long time to release The Norfolk – Popcorn. Several years ago they spent some time experimenting with Bourbon type ingredients and eventually settled on a top secret mix of maize, rye and barley as their core cereals. The resulting matured whisky has caused huge excitement with the team at the distillery as it is far better than ever predicted. They sent it to their members to try and the feedback has been wonderful, with some saying it tastes Bourbon-esque, others that it is incredibly easy to drink and is rich and smooth. For those of you wondering why Popcorn, the whisky is made using lots of Maize, just the same as popcorn.
LIMITED EDITION – VINTAGE CASK VATTING
The Singleton 38-year-old is a rare and irresistibly rich single malt Scotch whisky drawn from just eight casks from The Singleton of Glen Ord distillery, a marriage of Bourbon, Pedro Ximenez, Oloroso and American Oak. At 38 years old, this whisky is approaching four decades in the making and only 1,689 bottles have been released of this extra-long double matured whisky. At natural strength, a thick, creamy texture and a vibrant, sweet start in which rich opening notes of fudge lead smoothly into a lightly spicy, intense, and fruity taste suggesting cinnamon-spiced baked apple, drying gently into an autumnal peppery warmth that envelopes the palate. Appreciably deeper in taste than its younger siblings, it shows the classic Singleton smoothness, being richly flavoured, well balanced, and easy to drink straight. The palate opens to reveal hints of orange citrus while with a dash of water more sweet flavours of vanilla ice cream and caramel fudge are perfectly balanced by just a trace of salt, still with a light touch of that Szechuan pepper warmth.
The oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been “Made By the Sea” since 1830. In fact, few single malts tell the story of their origin better. Its smell and taste instantly connect the drinker with the rugged coastal environment. Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself – a powerhouse; challenging but adored, once discovered rarely left. Like a warm welcome from a wild sea. The Talisker 30 is elegant and complex, with the classic Talisker hallmarks of pepper and smoke in a softer and subtler way.
Originally founded to distill malt whisky by his father near Alloa in 1806,Cambus was re-founded in 1836 by Robert Mowbray. This forward thinking family invested in production technology and the quality of its grain was soon renowned. Cambus was now one of the most extensive grain whisky distilleries, covering eight acres when visited by Alfred Barnard in 1887. The nose is lively with fruity top notes of red apple, pineapple and gooseberry above strawberry chewy sweets, milk chocolate and toffee. The palate is light and drying with pine notes building in sweetness with salted caramel, pear drops and plum characteristics. The finish is short yet warm and gentle.
It is a celebration of where it all began back in 1820, taking you on a sensorial journey through the fragrant aisles of John Walker’s original grocery store. Rare and exceptional whiskies, including ghost stocks from the long-closed distilleries of Pittyvaich, Cambus and Port Ellen, have been explored to craft a whisky that reimagines the exotic flavours of the 1820s. All the whiskies in this limited edition have been aged for at least 28 years. The first sip opens the doors to reveal delicious layers of spice mingling with sweet honey and rich molasses inspired by the rows of tempting jars. Waves of sultanas, cocoa beans and herbal notes are carried on wisps of soft smoke leading you further down the aisles of John’s store with every sip.
Made by the sea on the rugged Isle of Skye, Talisker 18 year old balances the Talisker characteristics of smoke, salt and spice with sweetness and warmth. A decadent dram which is rich and soft, but still assertive
Talisker 18 year old is matured in a mixture of American and European oak casks for a minimum of 18 years, creating an expression of Talisker which is rich and fruity, with sweet plums, dried orange peel and toffee and a thread of smoke
Introduced in 2010, this stunning 25 year old Caol Ila is bottled at 43%. This rare and old whisky is also now part of their official range, with a rich, gentle mouthfeel and restrained, coal-esque phenols.
Possibly the most famous whisky in the world, Johnie Walker have honed their craft into a precision process that respects the many elements shaping a Scotch Whisky’s final flavour and character, including the type of grains and yeast used, the shape of the still, and the length of time it’s matured in the cask.
Only one in 10,000 casks – including some from long-closed ‘ghost’ distilleries – are hand-selected to craft this exceptionally smooth whisky.
A rich, deep, dark whisky to savour slowly after dark. Full bodied, with a richly winey, apple fruity and mouth watering start to delight the palate, backed by a long spicy intensity with a delicious black pepper note that really persists.
Mortlach Midnight Malt will be released in extremely limited batches, with only 350 bottles released annually.
Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure?
