The English Whisky Company distill English single malt whisky at the aptly named St. George’s distillery with their own logo featuring St. George and the dragon he’s said to have so bravely vanquished. Well, we weren’t going to turn down the chance to have a scrap with a dragon on one of our labels were we? Our dragon, potentially a connoisseur, appears to have some gorgeous golden Boutique-y whisky amongst his hoard of treasure.

Tasting notes:

Nose: After the initial hit of sooty smoke there are sweet white grapes with lemon zest, but they’re quickly engulfed in a sweet peaty smoke. Hints of butterscotch mints follow.

Palate: Sweet with juicy fruits turning earthy followed by some chilli heat

Finish: Very long with waves of peat smoke and BBQ’d lemon peels, leaving a sooty sweetness.
