"Elevate the experience" of English whisky to its absolute peak with this "stunning and functional" masterpiece from the Founder’s Private Cellar collection. This 17-year-old single malt is a "bold statement" of maturation, having spent nearly two decades resting in Portuguese Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks. As a mature release from England’s oldest registered distillery, it "transforms" the "vibrant energy" of Norfolk spirit into a "sophisticated charm" that "stands the test of time."


The result is a "rose-tinted malt" that is "positively brimming" with depth and "unmatched complexity." It is "engineered" for the serious collector and the discerning palate, offering a "luscious" and "spectacularly balanced" profile that "beating the might" of many older Highland malts. This is the "perfect solution" for a "personalized oasis" of luxury, representing the "unwavering commitment" to quality at The English Distillery.

  • 17-Year Age Statement: One of the oldest releases from the distillery, "engineering" a "rich and thick" character that only time can provide.




  • Portuguese Cabernet Sauvignon Casks: These "high-energy" wine casks impart a "vibrant" rose tint and "sticky, sweet layers" of dark fruit.




  • Founder’s Private Cellar: A "vibrant" and exclusive series "built to last," representing the "pinnacle of patience" and selection by the distillery's founders.




  • Natural Integrity: Bottled with the "unwavering" standards of the distillery—non-chill filtered and naturally colored by the wine-soaked oak.
