- Description
- The Cotswolds Distillery Founder's Choice is a cask-strength English single malt (59.1% ABV) produced entirely from floor-malted local barley and aged exclusively in STR ex-red wine casks. The wine influence brings dried fruit complexity — plums, figs, and raisins — alongside toasted wood, chocolate, and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied with layers of dark fruit, toast, and subtle butterscotch, finishing with roasted hazelnut. A premium craft expression that rewards those seeking a refined alternative to Scotch.
