Who we are

At a time when world-class whisky made in England was unthinkable, our father & son founders took a chance and kickstarted a category. From dream to dram, every aspect of The English is born of their vision. No investors, no interference. Just exceptional spirits made for sharing that keep getting better.

OUR ROOTS

When our founders built the distillery, they chose a spot directly above a source of sweet, mineral-rich water, the same water that’s made our whisky every day since 2006. Without our corner of Norfolk, our whisky wouldn’t be the same. Our roots are as deeply embedded in the Norfolk soil (right below the bedrock, in fact) as they can be, and we couldn’t be more proud.

OUR WHISKY

We believe in working to make great whiskies that aren’t hard work. Nothing weird or wacky, no gimmicks or trends. Just world-class spirits that are approachable but never dumbed down. Our diverse stock offers endless opportunities for future experimentation to continue creating delicious experiences for first-timers and whisky enthusiasts alike.

THE WORLD'S BEST SINGLE MALT

Winning The World’s Best Single Malt Whisky in the 2024 World Whiskies Awards shows that doing things the right way makes a difference. The English Sherry Cask beat off stiff competition from some of the most renowned distilleries in the world, propelling our rural distillery into the limelight and proving that English whisky can hold its own on a global stage.
