The English Gently Smoked Sherry Hogshead

The English Whisky Co. (St George's Distillery)

£75

The second release from our Small Batch range in 2025 is going to be a favourite for the sherry cask hounds. Drawn from a series of casks and having a slightly lower peating level than our norm, this single malt whisky is perfect for a cold evening. In a distillery that already limits batch sizes to ensure that every whisky we make is exceptional, The English Small Batch range takes it to the next level. These limited releases showcase the expertise of our distillery team in using various techniques to bring out the depth of flavours in our exceptional stocks of single malt whiskies. The Casks

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ENGLISH WHISKY CO. LIMITED, number 01545184. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "When our founders built the distillery at the Norfolk site, they chose a spot directly above a source of sweet, mineral-rich water; the same water that's made our whisky every day since 2006." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
