The English Whisky – 11 Year Old (Yearly Release)

Expertly aged, richly complex & beautifully refined

The English 11 Year Old is one of the most anticipated annual releases from The English Whisky Company — and with good reason. Matured for over a decade in the distillery’s onsite barrelhouses, this single malt represents the very best of English whisky craftsmanship: patient maturation, expert cask selection and a flavour profile that is both approachable and deeply complex.

Aged exclusively in ex-bourbon casks, this whisky absorbs layers of vanilla, honeyed oak and gentle spice, while still showcasing the purity of the distillery’s Norfolk-grown barley and traditional copper pot distillation. Each year’s small-batch release offers its own nuances, but always delivers exceptional depth, warmth and balance.

This is a whisky made for sharing, savouring and celebrating — a standout expression in the evolving world of English single malts.
