This new small-batch release (1,800 bottles) from the Norfolk-based English Whisky Company is heavily sherried, gently peated, and said to exhibit notes of raisins and candied peel on the nose, sweet smoke along with aniseed and cherries on the palate, and honey and toffee on the finish.
Owner of The English Whisky Co., Andrew Nelstrop, commented, "It is a long time since we released such a heavily sherried whisky… The colour, aromas and taste are extraordinary and far removed from the whiskies normally produced by English Whisky Co. This single malt whisky not only has the rich creaminess one would expect from a sherry cask, but it is also peated, with the smoke coming through a few seconds after tasting. This is the ultimate winter whisky…”
The English Sherry Hogshead (46% ABV) is available now for an RRP of £65.
