WELCOME TO THE ENGLISH WHISKY MAP - 2ND EDITION

St George's' Day 2020 saw the coming together of English whisky distilleries for the first time to share ideas and discuss plans for the future. The English whisky movement is growing, with a whole host of exciting whiskies now mature or maturing.

We've updated the English Whisky Map to reflect the thriving scene. Please share far and wide, and do get in touch if you know of any more distilleries in the pipeline.

The Future of English Whisky

We at Cooper King Distillery think it's a very exciting time to be involved in the English whisky industry, which is considered by many to be in its infancy.

The English whisky distillers have seized an amazing opportunity to explore and experiment, and to take advantage of our position as New World Whisky producers. Across the country English whisky distilleries are trialling a range of grains, yeast strains and fermentation periods. There is variation in the type and size of cask used for maturation, and in the type of still being used to produce the new-make spirit.

Keep an eye out for first and new releases from the distilleries on the English Whisky Map as we continue to bring exceptional whiskies to the table over the coming years.

Share this map to spread the word and try our new-make spirit (un-aged ‘whisky’ in the making) by purchasing a bottle from the online shop.

Note

For the purpose of clarity we have not included blended whiskies or independent bottlers within this blog post. Feel free to let us know of any corrections or clarifications using our contact page.

* Technically, Hicks and Healey is not a distillery, but the name given to the partnership between St Austell Brewery and Healey’s Cyder Farm. They are included here as they have produced, and are still producing, some very tasty single malt whiskey (with an intentional ‘e’ used in the spelling of whisky).
