English Whisky Distilleries are popping up in some of the nicest most picturesque areas of England like the Lake District and the Cotswolds. Ludlow is easily one of the prettiest historic towns in England with a massive castle and medieval town centre - now there is a distillery there it's a perfect day trip. This edition is matured in both ex-Bourbon casks and ex-single malt Scottish whisky casks before being finished in an Oloroso sherry cask. It also utilises purified water from the Welsh marches.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
