The English Whisky - English Original

Smooth, elegant & beautifully balanced

Produced in Norfolk by English Whisky →

English Original is the signature single malt from The English Whisky Company, crafted at St George’s Distillery — The Home of English Whisky — and the expression that truly showcases the purity, clarity and finesse of English whisky making.

Distilled from locally grown Norfolk barley and matured in carefully selected oak casks, English Original delivers a wonderfully clean and approachable flavour profile. On the nose, expect soft vanilla, fresh orchard fruits and gentle malt sweetness. The palate unfolds with notes of honey, citrus, creamy vanilla, light oak and a subtle peppery warmth. The finish is smooth, refreshing and delicately rounded — a perfect introduction to English whisky and a testament to the distillery’s meticulous craftsmanship.

Elegant, versatile and exceptionally drinkable, English Original is ideal for whisky newcomers and enthusiasts alike. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice or in a refined whisky cocktail, it offers a beautifully balanced experience that celebrates the finest of Norfolk’s whisky heritage.
