The English Single Cask Heavily Smoked Sherry Cask

Occasionally we release a cask for the big smoke lovers and this one certainly fits the bill. The English is brand has always made a range of Smokey whiskies and it is this smokiness rather than peatiness that we think sets us apart. A traditional peaty whisky is gives a taste of phenols (often likened to tcp or tarmac – and definitely can be an acquired taste. Our smokiness gives a different type of flavour - more like a bonfire of leaves and grass clippings, this sweeter, richer smoke is far more approachable and a great option for those who struggle with a more tradition peated whisky. The sherry cask gives the whisky its notes of dates, chocolate and its glorious rich a colour. This art of matching spirit and cask is one of the great skills of any whisky distillery and the perfect example of why we love single cask releases.

The single cask bottlings are wonderful stories in their own right; each has a history going back years, and the spirit was hand-distilled by the current team or by now-retired distillers. Each cask is unique and a little time capsule that reflects the love the distillery team have bestowed on it each year.

The English Single Cask Heavily Smoked Sherry Cask 14 Year Old is part of our Single Cask range, showcasing the influence of our super oak casks, each type hand-picked for its unique influence on the whisky whilst maturing. Single cask releases are incredibly rare, each one yielding only a few hundred bottles.
