Untouched nature, sleepy cottages next to cozy pubs and tea rooms - the Cotswolds region is considered one of the most beautiful in England. Since 2014, the Cotswolds Distillery has been producing one of the few English whiskies here and has been largely inspired by its surroundings: Breathtaking landscapes and dreamy villages meet craftsmanship and a feeling for special taste. The barley for the fruity whisky comes from local farmers, the water comes directly from the village.
During numerous weekend trips with his family, Daniel Szor fell in love with the Cotswolds and founded the region's first distillery in 2014, in the small village of Shipston-on-Stour. The distillery has now become an integral part of village life: it buys its ingredients from local farms, and the barley and water come exclusively from the region. The neighbors occasionally help the distillery with bottling and in return use waste products from the distilling process to feed their animals.
When distilling the whisky, head distiller Nickolas Franchino takes particular care to separate the foreshots and tails from the "heart" to create a fresh and light distillate. This is then matured in bourbon and red wine barrels.
