The English Whisky
Compare 65 prices from $49
The English is a Norfolk single malt whisky from The English Distillery, formerly known as St George's Distillery, near Roudham. Founded by James and Andrew Nelstrop, it began distilling in 2006 and played a defining role in the modern revival of English whisky, becoming England's first registered whisky distillery for more than a century.
The distillery uses locally grown barley, water from the Breckland aquifer and traditional copper pot stills, with whisky bottled on-site and typically presented without chill filtration or added color. Its character is clean, fruit-forward and approachable, often displaying orchard fruit, vanilla, malt biscuit and gentle spice, with peated releases adding a measured, dry smoke.
The lineup includes approachable core bottlings such as The English Original and Smokey, alongside sherry cask, single cask and older limited releases. As English whisky has developed into a serious and increasingly recognized category, The English remains one of its key reference points: pioneering, quietly confident and grounded in the agricultural character of Norfolk.
