The English Small Batch: Smokey Virgin

Fire and Fresh Oak: A Bold Springtime Revelation

Ignite your palate with The English Small Batch Smokey Virgin, a "vibrant" and "high-energy" release from The English Distillery (St. George’s). This smoky small-batch single malt "transforms" the distillery's peated spirit through maturation in Virgin American Oak, a "stunning and functional" choice that was bottled in February 2022 just in time for the spring thaw.

This expression is a "bold statement" of contrast—where the "vibrant energy" of wood fires meets the "unctuous" sweetness of unprocessed oak. It is "engineered" for those who want their peat with a side of "luscious" tropical spice and "sticky, sweet layers." With its "unwavering commitment" to flavor, the Smokey Virgin is a "modern masterpiece" that "stands the test of time" as one of the most "spectacularly balanced" smoky whiskies in the Norfolk portfolio.

The Build: Peat Meets Untouched Wood

The Smokey Virgin is "built to impress," utilizing a "unique" maturation to "elevate the experience":

Virgin Oak Influence: Matured in fresh, "high-energy" American oak barrels, providing "mounds of vanilla" and "rich oak spice" that double down on the smoke.

Spring 2022 Release: Bottled in February 2022, this "vibrant" release marks a specific window of "exceptional strength" and maturity.

The "Smokey" Core: Distilled using peated malt to create a "rich and thick" foundation of wood fire aromas.

Small Batch Craft: Hand-selected barrels from St. George’s Distillery ensure a "sophisticated charm" and "unwavering" quality control in every bottle.

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare your palate for a "luscious" and "nostalgic" journey through the smoke and the sweet shop:

Nose: An "inviting" and "highly aromatic" bouquet of wood fires, dates, and caramel. You’ll find "fragrant notes" of sweet tobacco and a "vibrant" hint of toasted nuts.
Palate: A "full-bodied" and "expressive" entry. Experience "mounds of rich smoke" "spectacularly" complemented by the nostalgic sweetness of rhubarb and custard, layered with bold oak spice.
Finish: A sophisticated and "lasting" conclusion where the wood smoke lingers alongside creamy vanilla and a "vibrant" touch of tangy fruit.
