- Description
- Cotswolds' founder Dan Szor selected casks for this 2024 release using odyssey barley grown locally and malted at Warminster, then matured in American oak red wine casks treated with a proprietary shave, toast, and re-char process designed by the late Dr. Jim Swan. Bottled at cask strength, it combines red wine influence with English orchard fruit and spice, showcasing terroir-driven production. A showcase of English single malt craft and transparency in whisky-making.
