We’re thrilled to announce that The English Gently Smoked Sherry Hogshead has been awarded gold and won England’s Best Small Batch Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2026.

The second release from our Small Batch range in 2025 was drawn from a series of casks and has a slightly lower peating level than our norm. Expect lots of burnt sugar, rich toffee and sweet smoke on the nose. The rich palate is smooth with pronounced notes of smoke, smoked apple, cinnamon, vanilla, dried fruits and orange peel. The finish is long, sweet and smoky.

In a distillery that already limits batch sizes to ensure that every whisky we make is exceptional, The English Small Batch range takes it to the next level. These limited releases showcase the expertise of our distillery team in using various techniques to bring out the depth of flavours in our exceptional stocks of single malt whiskies. Each batch is unique, and once it's gone, it's gone.
