The Nelstrop Family have a long history in farming, and James has a long-time ambition of opening a distillery. The company continues to be an independent, family owned business, born out of the Nelstrop families passion for single malt whisky.
Built for the sole intention of handcrafting the finest English Single Malt, at the time of the distillery's completion, it was the England's first whisky distillery in over 100 years. The distillery was officially opened in March 2007 by King Charles III.
The English Whisky Co. offer whiskies of a wide range of flavours, the distillery produces both peated and un-peated whiskies while they also use a variety of different casks for certain releases. They have whisky maturing in their warehouses to last 40 years. Alongside the single malts, they also produce a range of whisky liqueurs.
The creators of The Norfolk, The English Whisky Co., mature some of their fine single malt whiskies in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Casks. These casks are full of beautiful rich dark sherry before they take delivery. So, they decided to take the sherry as well as it is too lovely to leave behind. Since arriving at St. George's, the distillery added some of the single malt to it and left it in the casks to continue maturing. They believe that the resulting drink is a wonderful wine, that makes a superb drink for many occasions.

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
