English whisky has been making waves in the whisky world in recent years, winning numerous awards and accolades. There are now over 55 distilleries in England currently producing whisky, with about half having bottles already available on UK shelves.
6 new distilleries released their first whisky in 2023. The English Whisky Guild forecasts that there will be over 50,000 maturing casks by the end of 2024 with a value of over £1 billion.
At present, there is no official definition of English Whisky, but the creation of a statutory definition is under discussion - The English Whisky Guild has applied for a Geographical Indication in order to establish a legal definition.
In 2022, The British Standards Institute published it’s first guidelines on how English whisky should be produced and packaged.
In Scotland, there are a multitude of rules, regulations and restrictions defining what is allowed. When it comes to categories (Single Grain, Single Malt etc), there are no rules yet laid down for England and Wales.
English whisky producers are able to create a wide range of unique and flavoursome whiskies that are not possible to produce in Scotland. This diversity is one of the things that makes English whisky so exciting and interesting.
English whisky producers are free from a number of restrictions that exist for Scottish distilleries.
Cask experimentation: English whisky producers are experimenting with a wide range of cask types, including virgin oak, wine casks, and even beer casks. This is producing a fresh range of new and exciting flavour profiles.
Grain experimentation: English whisky producers are also working with a broad mix of grains, including unmalted barley, wheat, corn, and rye. This can often result in whiskies that taste quite different from Scottish whisky.
Flavouring experimentation: Some English whisky producers are adding other flavourings to their whiskies, such as fruit, spices, and herbs. This is resulting in whiskies that are truly unique and unlike anything else on the market.
