The English Whisky Company – Chapter 11 (Heavily Peated, 2008) (70cl, 46%)

Chapter 11 from The English Whisky Company showcases a bold and uncompromising side of English single malt. Distilled in March 2008 and matured for three years in ex-bourbon casks, this release is part of the “Heavily Peated” series—a nod to the smoky traditions of Islay, reimagined in Norfolk. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural in color, this whisky delivers robust peat smoke layered over bright citrus, vanilla oak, and earthy barley. A young but confident dram that proves English whisky can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with peated powerhouses.
