WELCOME TO THE ENGLISH WHISKY MAP - 3RD EDITION

The 3rd edition of the English Whisky Map details a whole host of distilleries with mature whisky, those laying down casks and many new distilleries under construction. Click here for a full-sized version of the map.

We created the first English Whisky Map in 2016 to promote the thriving English whisky scene. It has now become a tradition to update and present a new edition each year, on St George’s Day.

Please do visit the distilleries, explore the map and share far and wide. Do get in touch if you know of any more distilleries in the pipeline.

The Future of English Whisky

It's an 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 join our Founders’ Club to help shape the future of the distillery.

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.

The London Distillery Co. was the first - and hopefully the last - of the new wave of English whisky distilleries to close, having gone into administration in January 2020.

* 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).
