About The English Whisky Company

Founded in 2006, The English Whisky Company established St George’s Distillery near Roudham, Norfolk, marking a historic moment for English spirits. Using traditional copper pot stills, locally grown barley and long maturation periods, the distillery set out to prove that England could produce world-class single malt whisky.

Each whisky is distilled, matured and bottled in Norfolk, with careful attention paid to cask selection, ageing and balance. The result is a diverse range of English whiskies that showcase depth, character and a clear sense of place.
