Forest Whisky is made at Forest Distillery, at the iconic Cat and Fiddle Inn, therefore making it Britain's highest altitude distillery. Forest Distillery began in 2014, when Karl and Lindsay Bond began home distilling tiny batches of spirits from the kitchen table in their home next to Macclesfield Forest. Whilst these initial distillations were purely for their own enjoyment, things have rapidly moved on since.
Forest Whisky Blended Malt is made and released in small batches. It comprises of several aged scotch malt whiskies chosen for their flavour profile. They are then further blended and matured on site in the Peak District.
To create this unique spirit, they have distilled Cheshire Barley and Oats with wild yeast and their own spring water. It matured in Oak below the Cat and Fiddle before the distillers blended it with other selected whiskies. They added a final sumptuous stage of flavour by resting the blend in new English Oak Casks in their cellars.
The result is a distinctly smooth and bright whisky of the very highest quality. The English Oak beautifully balances its delicate sweetness.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Golden almonds.
Nose - Bright, fresh, lemon meringue.
Palate - Sweet honeycomb, soft butter, green apples.

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
