The Cotswolds Distillery was founded in 2014, by Daniel Szor. It is situated in Stourton in Warwickshire, located in the Costwolds. After living and working in London for several years, Daniel moved to the picturesque countryside of the Cotswolds. He decided to combine his love of whisky and desire to start a new business to create Cotswolds Distillery. Daniel, a native New Yorker, enlisted the help of Harry Cockburn and the late Dr Jim Swan to assist with the setting up of the distillery. Production of whisky began in September 2014. The first release of Cotswolds whisky came in October 2017, once the spirit had reached the three year mark. They make a gentle, light spirit with plenty of flavour, which has consequently won numerous awards.
Cotswolds Dry Gin was the first project of the distillery. Following two months of researching botanical recipes, the team settled on a delectable blend of nine carefully-considered botanicals. These botanicals included local lavender, as well as freshly peeled pink grapefruit and lime zest. When ice or tonic is added, the gin, boasting an unusually high volume of botanicals, creates a beautiful pearlescent cloud.
Produced on a 500-litre hybrid pot and column still, the gin is rectified using the 'steep and boil' method and collected in one shot. This contradicts the multi-shit method traditionally used by other gin brands.
The distilling team draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the surrounding area, infusing their innovative skills into the production of the award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin, therefore ensuring maximum flavour. A juniper-led gin with fresh citrusy notes and a hint of lavender.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
