THE RISE OF ENGLISH WHISKY

A New Chapter

For centuries, Scotch and Irish whiskies have dominated the whisky landscape, but in recent years, a new contender has emerged - English Whisky. English whisky is now making waves on the global stage, with over 45 distilleries producing exceptional spirits and redefining what whisky can be.

A New Era of Whisky

The rebirth of English whisky began just over a decade ago, but in that short time, it has gained remarkable traction. The English Whisky Guild (EWG) was formed to unite distilleries, set industry standards, and promote this exciting category worldwide. With its rapid growth, English whisky is proving that it is not just a passing trend but a movement rooted in innovation, passion, and craftsmanship.

One of the most exciting aspects of English whisky is its flavour diversity. Unlike traditional whisky-producing nations, English distilleries are experimenting with everything from heritage grains to unconventional cask finishes, creating a spectrum of flavours that appeal to both whisky purists and adventurous drinkers alike.

International Recognition

The global whisky community has taken notice. English whiskies are winning international awards, being stocked in some of the world’s most prestigious bars and retailers, and earning praise from critics and enthusiasts. With this momentum, the category is on track to establish itself as a major player in the whisky world.

As a proud member of the English Whisky Guild, we are dedicated to championing the future of English whisky. Our Founder & Master Distiller Seb Heeley-Wiggins is actively involved in shaping the industry’s future, ensuring that English whisky is crafted to the highest standards and recognised worldwide.
