About the Cotswolds Founder's Choice

Cotswolds Founder's Choice is an English single malt whisky made in the United Kingdom. It comes from the Cotswolds Distillery, set deep in the rolling countryside of rural England. The Cotswolds Distillery sits in the village of Stourton. This corner of the United Kingdom is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The founders started the project to make world-class spirit on home soil. They work with local ingredients wherever they can. The whisky is built on quality barley and patient maturation. Everything is crafted slowly, by hand, in small batches. That care shows up in every glass they fill. Founder's Choice earns its name well. The distillers picked it as the bottling they love most. They matured it fully in red wine casks. That choice is unusual for an English single malt whisky. The wood gives the spirit its deep, glowing colour. It also lends a rich, fruity heart you notice straight away. The flavour is generous and rounded. Expect dark dried fruit and a sherry-like sweetness up front. Soft cream and gentle vanilla follow close behind. A nutty hazelnut note runs through the middle. The finish leans on warm, oaky wood and lingers nicely. Each sip feels weighty and full. This Cotswolds single malt arrives at cask strength and is not chill filtered. That means full body, full colour and full flavour in the glass. The high strength carries every flavour with ease. Pour it neat and let it open in its own time. A robust whisky like this needs no help. Cotswolds Founder's Choice is one to savour quietly and unhurried.
