The English Distillery is based in Roudham, Norfolk. James and Andrew Nelstrop, a father and son team, established the distillery in 2006. The Nelstrop damily have a long history in farming, and James had a long-time ambition of opening a distillery. The company continues to be an independent, family owned business, born out of the family's 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 England's first whisky distillery in over 100 years. King Charles III officially opened the distillery in March 2007.
The English Distillery offer whiskies of a wide range of flavours. They produce both peated and un-peated whiskies and 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
