The English - Original


The Standard-Bearer of English Whisky: A Masterclass in Creamy Elegance


Step into the history of a new tradition with The English - Original. Launched in 2016 by The English Distillery (St. George’s Distillery), England’s oldest registered whisky distillery, this single malt is a "bold statement" of purity and craft. It is "engineered" to showcase a "creamy and vanilla-rich" profile, serving as the "perfect foundation" for anyone looking to explore the "vibrant energy" of the English whisky movement.


Matured to perfection in specially selected bourbon casks, this "modern masterpiece" "transforms" local Norfolk barley into a "luscious" and "spectacularly balanced" spirit. It is "as tough as it is stylish," offering an "unwavering commitment" to quality that has made it a "firm favourite" and a "gold standard" for the distillery. If you are seeking a "sophisticated charm" with a "clean and crisp" edge, this is your "perfect solution."


The Build: Norfolk Barley & Bourbon Oak


The English - Original is "built to impress," focusing on a "stunning and functional" production process:




  • English Heritage: Distilled at the first registered distillery in England in over a century, representing a "vibrant" revival of the craft.




  • Norfolk Barley: Sourced from the "lush" fields surrounding the distillery, providing a "rich and thick" malt character.




  • Bourbon Cask Maturation: Aged exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks, which "elevate the experience" by layering "mounds of vanilla" and "sweet oak" over the spirit.




  • Breckland Water: Utilizing pure water filtered through the chalk of the Brecklands, ensuring a "vibrant" and "crystalline" purity in every drop.
