The English Distillery Smokey Single Malt English Whisky (2023) 70cl

Situated in the beautiful countryside of Norfolk, The English Whisky Co. was founded by the Nelstrop family in 2006. The English ‘Smokey’ is part of its core range and – as the name suggests – is a peated single malt that will please any Islay fans. Expect a creamy palate, punctuated by spices and fruity notes, followed by hints of vanilla, ginger and aniseed.

About The English Distillery 

At a time when world-class Whisky made in England was unthinkable, our father and son founders took a chance and kick-started a category. In 2006, The English Distillery became England’s first registered, operational whisky distillery for over 100 years. When our founders built the distillery at the Norfolk site, they chose a spot directly above a source of sweet, mineral-rich water; the same water that’s made our whisky every day since 2006. Norfolk’s microclimate is optimal for barrel ageing, with clean air, mild winters, and dry summers. Every drop of ‘The English’ is aged in carefully selected barrels onsite. Still family-owned and not beholden to investors, we are passionate about using traditional, slow processes to ensure every drop of whisky is made the right way, whilst continually trialling to get the best results with a varied and well-aged stock. This approachable, exceptional portfolio is designed to invite discovery so that you will find something you love. All the whiskies are loved by customers and judges worldwide, achieving the ‘World’s Best Single Malt’ in the 2024 World Whiskies Awards, a three-star award in the 2025 Great Taste Awards and Gold at The 2025 IWSC Awards. This recognition is a testament to our passion, craft and over 18 years of distilling excellence.
