Cotswolds Distillery's Founder's Choice was matured in shaved, toasted, and re-charred American oak red wine casks—a technique developed by the late Dr. Jim Swan that intensifies wood influence on young spirit. Bottled at cask strength (60.5% abv), the deep colour signals concentrated toffee, toasted malt, and red fruit characteristics drawn from the dramatic cask treatment. This English single malt showcases how aggressive wood preparation can accelerate complexity in a young distillery's output. It suits those exploring contemporary English whisky-making and its willingness to depart from traditional maturation methods.
