The English Distillery - Smokey Single Malt Whisky, as the name suggests, has an attractive smokey core but retains the distillery's distinctive vanilla-rich flavours. A great alternative for fans of peaty Islay malts... The English core range features a triplet of English single malt whiskies - this is the Smokey expression. Non-chill filtered. Natural colouring.. Bronze. Best English Single Malt - 2020 - World Whiskies Awards. Nose. Quite sweet and savoury, with a dose of white pepper, smoked ham and peat. Hints. of vanilla, aniseed and ginger cake. Lemon and lime zest.. Palate. A clean creamy palate with astringent dry oak, the pepper and peat then develop. Light peat initially then a smoke bomb! Again, fruity (think lemon rinds). The vanilla, ginger and aniseed are still there with tropical fruit. The finish is long, spicy and smoky.. Fully matured in a combination of First Fill and Refill Bourbon Casks, Non-Chill Filtered, Natural Ingredients and Hand Bottled. Produced using Peated Barley to a level of around 50PPM.. Other Awards. Whiskey Wizards – Gold (2020). Jim Murrays Whiskey Bible – Liquid Gold Award (94 points)
