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

£26

We love Damsons, the lovely dark blue fruit are similar to plums and have a slightly more sour taste than Blackberries. Steeped in our whisky for several months along with a touch of sugar and the end result is a fabulous liqueur. Try it on it's own over ice, or lengthen it with sparkling water, or pour a measure into a flute and top it with champagne for a banging berry bellini. The nose Wonderful notes of plum, flowers and hedgerow berries. The palate Silky smooth with notes of slightly acidic plums honey. The finish Lingering fruit and a hint of warmth, Awards 2026 Great Taste Awards - 2 St

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.
