The Cotswolds Distillery was started in 2014 by founder & CEO Daniel Szor. Native to New York but a career in finance in London set Daniel up to follow his passion of whisky and build a brand-new distillery in the heart of the Cotswolds near his home. A commitment to traditional methods and high-quality raw ingredients means that all the barley used to make their whisky has been grown in the Cotswolds. Aromas of dry, nutty Oloroso Sherry initially rise from the glass, building into dates, prunes and figs, before a little time to breathe reveals orchard fruits and a fresh floral side. The palate is pleasingly chewy, moving in waves from Sherry wood to green apples, honeycomb, and Victoria sponge. A long, lingering finish shows baking spice, prunes and a little citrus.
