English Whisky

The first Cornish single malt to be released by the distillery and a single cask as well. 3 years ageing in American oak and 1 year finishing in an ex-Rioja cask.

"Working with the guys at Keltek brewery, we produced a stunning pale mash. We then tripled distilled using Jackson, the largest of our stills, before ageing it in a Rioja Cask in the shadow of St Michael's Mount. With only 400 bottles of this single cask available, this will be the only opportunity to purchase this truly stunning whisky!"

3 year old Cornish whisky (craft beer base) blended with 8 year old Loch Lomond whisky at Loch Lomond.

This bottling shows that the spirit doesn't need the addition of a sherry cask, like the first two releases had.
