The English Virgin Oak
The English Virgin Oak is a wonderfully rich and chocolatey whisky matured exclusively in Virgin Oak casks, having been made from totally unpeated malted barley. Try it neat, or with a little splash of water if you want to bring the sweeter flavours to the fore.
The English Virgin Oak is part of our Small Batch range, showcasing the expertise and passion of our distillery team in using various techniques to bring out the depth of flavours in our exceptional stocks of single malt whiskies. We hope you enjoy drinking them as much as we enjoy making them!
