The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 2014 by Daniel Szor, an American financier with a passion for single malt, the Cotswolds Distillery was established to bring craft distilling to the rolling English countryside. Using 100% locally grown Cotswolds barley, it has quickly become a highly acclaimed producer of English whisky.

How it is made

Handcrafted at the scenic Cotswolds distillery, this expression is carefully matured in special STR (shaved, toasted, and re-charred) American oak red wine casks. This unique cask treatment active-ages the spirit, yielding deep color and intensely concentrated oak sugars.
