Whisky Tasting with The English Distillery
Introducing The English Distillery. England’s oldest registered whisky distillery. Founded by the Nelstrop family in Norfolk, the distillery is still independent and creates multi-award-winning whisky from honest, local ingredients.
The English Whisky distillery made history in 2006 by becoming the first registered operational whisky distillery in England after a century-long hiatus, crafting England’s finest single malt whisky.
Join us for a night of discovery as we explore their exceptional range of whisky offerings. Sample their robust cask strength unpeated whisky, savour the unique character of their Norfolk grain whisky, and be enchanted by the rich flavours of their English sherry matured whisky. For those who appreciate a peaty punch, their peated cask strength whisky will take you on a journey of smoky delight. And don’t miss the Norfolk PX liqueur, a marriage of single malt whisky and delicious Pedro Ximenez sherry, blended together then matured in specially selected oak casks for years creating a truly special and rich experience.
This is your opportunity to dive into the world of English whisky, guided by the experts themselves. Let The English Distillery take you on a whisky adventure. Raise your glass to an evening of history, craftsmanship, and exquisite liquid gold.
