English whisky is a liquor made from cereal grains, malt and water. [5] There are currently two types of English whiskies produced malt whisky and grain whisky. [6] [7]

Contents

Although England is not well known for whisky production, distillers operated in London, Liverpool and Bristol until the late 19th century, after which production of English single malt whisky ceased until 2003. [8] Since then, English whisky has experienced a resurgence in production. [9]

History

Origins and discontinuation

England, like Scotland, has a history of producing single malt whisky. However, the production of English single malt whisky ceased around 1905 with the closure of Lea Valley Distillery, in Stratford, London, by the Distillers Company Limited, one of the forerunners of Diageo. [10]

In the 1887 book The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom by Alfred Barnard, the following English distilleries were listed: [11]

Re establishment

In 2005, The English Whisky Co. Ltd got permission to build the first registered whisky distillery in England for over a century; it first release of single malt occurred in 2009; which became the only English Whisky to have been bottled and released for over 100 years. In 2013 The London Distillery Company began production of the first single malt whisky in London since Lea Valley Distillery closed in 1903. Three other English distilleries, also producing whisky by 2014, were The Cotswolds Distillery, Ludlow Distillery and The Lakes Distillery. [12]

Definition

Current Definition

There is currently no specific definition of English Whisky, however there is process being made on creating a statutory definition. English whisky producers currently follow EU Regulation (2019/787)) that define whisky alongside the British Standards institutes whisky guidelines. [13] [lower-alpha 1]

Definition guidance

On 12 September 2023 the British Standards Institute published its first guidelines on how English, Scotch Welsh and Irish whisky should be produced and packaged. These guidelines state that whisky must:

  • be caramel in colour
  • be matured for at least three years in wooden caskets
  • not be sweetened or have additives
  • ABV should be a minimum of 40%
  • distillation should be conducted at less than 94.8% volume. [15]

Definition changes

On 14 February 2022, the English Whisky Guild applied for a Geographical Indication (GI) in order to establish a legal definition for English Whisky, [14] with suggestions being submitted for what should be included in the GI, such as specifying that:

  • whisky is washed in England
  • whisky is distilled in England
  • whisky casks are matured in England
  • grain is from United Kingdom [16]

Distilleries

There are currently 55 English distilleries across 9 regions in England, [17] [18] 26 independent distilleries and 24 distilleries that are members of the English Whisky Guild. [19]

The English whisky distilleries are all at various stages of development with the oldest St George’s Distillery brewing whisky for nearly 20 years [20] and The Cotswolds distillery is the largest producer of whisky in England. [21]
