Cotswolds FOUNDER'S CHOICE Single Malt Whisky 60,5% Vol. 0,7l

Part of our Cask Expressions Collection, our cask strength Founder's Choice Single Malt Whisky is aged exclusively in our founder Dan's favourite casks: STR (Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred) ex-red wine barriques. These highly active casks were created by our mentor and renowned whisky consultant, the late Dr. Jim Swan, and give a rich and intense maturation to our fruity new make spirit, offering strong notes of toffee, chocolate and red fruits, as well as a beautiful, deep colour. 

Non-chill filtered. Natural colouring.

CAREFULLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS

Wood: STR (Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred) American oak ex-red wine casks, designed by the late Dr Jim Swan.
